For teachers
Help more students start speaking.
YapYapGo turns one shared screen or projector into a classroom speaking activity.
No student devices. No student accounts. Suitable for every age group and language level supported by YapYapGo.
Many English lessons are built for control, not communication.
Teachers explain, manage the class, check answers, and prepare students for tests, but this can leave very little time for every student to speak.
The result: students can spend years "learning English" while barely practising the skill they actually need.
One observational study of 12 ESL lessons found that teacher talk took 65% of class time, leaving each student with only about 23 seconds to speak in the study scenario.
Students don't become confident speakers by only studying English - they become speakers by using it.
Students need practice that makes them think, respond, and speak in real time.
Speaking reveals the gap between what students know and what they can actually use.
Research from the EEF suggests that structured speaking practice can give students the equivalent of an extra 6 months of progress compared with usual teaching methods within a school year.

Add a game when the class needs fresh energy
Let everyone practise first, then launch a game and select students from each team to speak and play.
Rate the quality of each response to reward effort, while the whole class gets a lively brain break.
Arcade puts the game at the centre
Students play in teams and are selected one by one to answer a prompt before playing the game.
It works well as an end-of-lesson reward, a high-energy speaking activity, or a way to encourage reluctant speakers.
It is also effective online, where team play and a rotating speaker queue give every student an opportunity to participate.
Progress comes from consistency
YapYapGo gives your class a low-friction routine that students can recognise and become comfortable with quickly.
You do not need to plan and explain a new speaking activity every week. Start YapYapGo and your students already know what to do.
Keep the routine consistent and give speaking confidence time to grow.
Practise every part of the IELTS Speaking test
Work through Parts 1, 2, and 3 separately, or organise a full mock speaking test with your class in moments.
Online classes make participation harder
Students have the whole internet competing for their attention, while quieter learners can avoid the microphone and leave the lesson to a few confident voices.
When microphones stay muted, teachers often fill the silence, and teacher talk begins to dominate the lesson.
Arcade gives every online student a turn
Add your class list and split students into teams. A rotating queue selects a student from each team and gives them a speaking prompt.
Rate responses to reward effort, then let the team play. Team membership and regular turns give students a reason to stay focused throughout the lesson.
With almost no preparation, you have a complete online speaking activity ready to run.
Take young learners from first words to real answers
Introduce vocabulary with visual flashcards, then use prompts that gradually move from repetition to real questions.
Organise the class into teams, select students fairly, and reward speaking with stars. Then spend those stars in Shooting Stars to keep effort and engagement high.
For schools and teaching teams
Help every teacher run more effective speaking practice
YapYapGo works from one shared screen or projector. Students need no devices or accounts.
Teachers can adapt activities from Young Learners (7–9) to Adults (18+) and from CEFR A1 to C2.
