Curriculum leaders in world language and ESL programs work hard to build thoughtful, standards-aligned plans. You’ve mapped out units tied to ACTFL Can-Do Statements or WIDA Performance Descriptors. You’ve trained teachers and shared resources. But when the school year begins, it doesn’t always click.
Teachers use the materials inconsistently. Feedback varies across classrooms. Student progress becomes difficult to track. Despite good intentions and planning, the curriculum stalls.
You’re not alone. This is the most common frustration we hear from instructional leaders across the country.
Teachers Don’t Have Time
Even the best materials won’t get used if they’re hard to find or feel like extra work. Teachers already spend their days juggling grading, planning, meetings, and student needs. If a resource doesn’t fit smoothly into their flow, it’s often skipped.
Grading Is Inconsistent
You might have shared rubrics based on ACTFL proficiency levels or WIDA standards. But without built-in tools for giving feedback, teachers end up interpreting those rubrics in different ways. That inconsistency affects equity and makes it hard to measure real growth.
Collaboration Is Disconnected
Teachers want to work together, but most of the tools available don’t support shared teaching. Curriculum updates go out by email. Resources live in scattered folders. There’s no clear system for organizing, updating, and collaborating across a team.
Speakable gives you the structure to put your curriculum into practice across classrooms. You create Teams for instructional groups — like your ESL department or Spanish I teachers — and inside each Team is a Workspace, a shared hub where you organize curriculum materials, activities, and rubrics.
You decide what goes in. Speakable just makes it easier to build.
A Workspace is your team’s shared curriculum space. You can organize it with:
Once your Workspace is set up, teachers can browse and assign activities with rubrics already in place. Everything is organized, aligned, and accessible.
To support fast, aligned setup, Speakable includes tools that help you turn your curriculum into actionable materials without starting from scratch:
AI Builder
Input a simple prompt and Speakable generates a full activity based on your instructional goals. For example, you can type, “Create a greetings and goodbyes activity for Spanish 1 that focuses on speaking practice.” Speakable will create a structured, editable activity based on that prompt. You can optionally attach a document, but it’s not required.
Bulk Page Creator
Upload a list of vocabulary words, prompts, or questions, and quickly turn them into a multi-page activity.
AI Rubric Builder
Upload a rubric PDF, such as an ACTFL-aligned writing rubric, and tell the AI how to convert it. The system reads the document and builds a version of the rubric that works inside Speakable, saving hours of manual re-entry and helping teams stay aligned.
When students complete open-ended tasks, whether written or spoken, Speakable estimates their proficiency level based on the rubric you’ve attached. This gives teachers immediate, standards-aligned feedback and ensures consistency across classrooms.
Over time, Speakable tracks performance across assignments. Teachers can see growth and spot learning gaps. At the organization level, admins can view analytics across Teams, classrooms, and students — all aligned to the standards you define.
You’ve already done the work to design a strong curriculum. Speakable doesn’t replace it. It makes it easier to implement.
Teachers get a clean system where everything they need is ready to go. Leaders get visibility into usage, feedback, and student progress. Everyone works from the same foundation, and you finally get the consistency you’ve been aiming for.
