TalkDrill for English and soft-skills faculty
Faculty use TalkDrill to set interview, roleplay, writing or lesson work as guided or independent practice, see each student’s AI score and override it with a reason. Every Monday a co-pilot drafts one assignment per batch from its weakest skills, and a lab hour can become a live group-discussion or mock-interview day with attendance taken from actual time in the room.
What faculty can do
Assignments, a Monday co-pilot and pacing
Faculty set interview, roleplay, writing or lesson work as guided or independent practice, see the AI score and can override it with a reason. Every Monday a co-pilot drafts one assignment per batch from its weakest skills, and faculty choose whether work opens all at once or one step at a time.
Practice slots and lab days
Book a whole batch into level-matched pairs or five-person GDs with task cards, or start a live GD or mock-interview day in the lab. Attendance comes from actual time in the room, never from a tap.
Group classes with trainers
Workshops, masterclasses and mock-interview marathons, in a TalkDrill room or on Meet or Teams. Upload a class transcript to score each student’s share of the talking; the text itself is not stored.
Seniors as interviewers
Flag placed seniors and they can run their company’s mock round for juniors. The AI scores the junior and the senior’s listening, and the questions seniors recall go into a question bank only your college sees, once staff approve them.
What students get back
Feedback that teaches, and Hindi-first answering
Interview, roleplay and writing reports name one strength, one change quoting the student’s own words, a two-minute drill and a retry with a before and after. In guided practice a student can answer in Hindi or Hinglish first; the coach asks again in English and scores only the English answer.
Roleplay, writing and pronunciation, all scored
AI roleplay at a difficulty you set, from a viva to a salary conversation. Emails and essays scored on task response, organisation, grammar, vocabulary, mechanics and tone. And every spoken session scored on pronunciation and fluency.
Two English courses and 20 games
English Grammar Basics and Everyday Spoken English: about 100 short chapters that end with the student saying it out loud, with progress and stars per learner. Plus 20 short vocabulary, grammar and listening games for the days nobody has twenty minutes.
AI mock interviews, with a scored report
A full interview with an AI interviewer — including one built from a pasted job description — then a report they can act on: an overall score, the filler words they leaned on, their speaking pace, and the three fixes that would move the needle most.
How it fits a timetable
There is nothing to install on college machines and no lab that has to be booked. Students practise on their own phones between classes; practice slots and lab days are there when faculty want a whole batch practising at once, not a requirement.
Faculty choose whether an assignment opens all at once or one step at a time, and every score the AI gives can be overridden with a reason, so the final mark stays a faculty decision.
Once your course outcomes are mapped to the seven skills, the same scores feed CO/PO attainment and the accreditation appendices, so evidence for the English lab or a skill-enhancement course does not have to be typed up by hand.
