Using the Wisp Room

The Wisp Room enables students to engage in open-ended conversations within a given scenario.
During each turn, students record their spoken response, and the Wisp bot replies naturally while evaluating the student’s answer in the background.
This approach helps students build confidence and adaptability in real conversational settings.

Understanding the Wisp Room

The Wisp Room contains six key elements:

  1. Scenario Overview – A description of the situation or context for the conversation.
  2. Starting Prompt – The opening question or statement from the Wisp bot.
  3. Record Button – Used to record and submit your spoken response.
  4. Your Response – The recorded answer to the prompt.
  5. Wisp’s Reply – A dynamic follow-up from the bot, adapting to the student’s response.
  6. Evaluation Card – Provides feedback on grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and coherence for each turn.
