Creating a Voki

These tutorials will offer you an engaging way to promote speaking and listening skills in the modern foreign languages classroom. The tutorial is split into two parts and covers the steps needed to create an animated character which can read out a written presentation in a foreign accent or lip-sync a digital recording of your voice.

What does the training consist of and how long will it take me?

  • There are two 5 minute video tutorials. Each tutorial is accompanied by a PDF transcript which can be printed out
  • It is recommended that while watching the tutorials, you pause the recording from time to time and copy the instructions you've just seen on the website itself so by the end of each one you have also completed the task set
  • The materials could be used in a group or by individuals working independently 
  • The whole module should take about an hour to complete.
