Apostrophe· for institutions teaching French
What your learners do between two classes. Independent dictation practice, from A1 to C2.
The gap between two classes
Written accuracy is what adult learners of French struggle with longest, and it is the hardest thing to drill in a group class. Between two sessions most learners practise very little, and what they do is rarely written.
Apostrophe· fills that gap: five minutes of dictation, corrected word by word, with the exact grammar rule behind every mistake.
How it works
Your institution receives access codes
One per learner, valid for one academic year.
You hand them to your learners
They activate the code online, in two minutes.
They practise between classes
Five minutes in the evening, on their own phone.
There is nothing to install on your equipment, nothing to configure and no training to plan.
What it adds to a French course
Listening and writing at once
Dictation is the one exercise that trains comprehension, spelling and grammar in a single movement.
CEFR levels, A1 to C2
Each learner works at their own level, independently of the class group.
Four French accents
France, Belgium, Switzerland, Quebec. Useful when your learners are not all headed for Paris.
Spaced repetition
Mistakes come back later, just before the learner forgets them. Nothing for your teachers to schedule.
How the correction works
The correction is not handed to a language model. It is computed by our own code, word by word. AI is used only to write the explanation once the error has been found. A learner is therefore never marked wrong on a correct answer, which matters when it is your teaching that gets questioned.
Learner tracking and data protection
Your institution has no individual tracking: no dashboard, no per-learner statistics, no record of who practises and who does not.
Activation uses an account the learner creates with their own e-mail address. The dictation answers never leave their phone. There is therefore no record of what a learner wrote, neither on your side nor on ours. The details are in our privacy policy.
Who this is for
- Language schools and Alliances Françaises teaching French as a foreign language.
- Universities and higher education French departments.
- Institutions preparing DELF, DALF or TCF, for the written part.
- Independent teachers working with a group of learners.
