My Oral. Train students orally and prepare the Grand Oral, free of charge

Last updated on 8 June 2026

You want to do oral work in the classroom, but you have no microphone, no software, no time to set everything up. Students just have their phone or the computer in the room. You need something simple, which does not require an account to be created for each student.

Maybe I have what you need with the My Oral app.

My oral is a free and small application available to all teachers that allows to create a whole series of activities around oral expression.

The application is particularly well suited to offer students oral training and the Great Oral. It allows you to register, but also to participate in real-time training exercises. Don’t hesitate to put it in your digital toolkit for education.

How can we propose activities to develop oral practice?

Mon Oral is a free and open-source tool designed by two teachers from the Lycée Français International de Tokyo: Laurent Abbal, professor of physics-chemistry, and Chrystèle Gademer, professor of classical letters. It is not a commercial product. It is a pedagogical project, ‘do-it-yourself’ by teachers for teachers. That's great.

The tool runs entirely in the browser. No software to install. Compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.

The longest is to create a teacher account. To do this, you need an academic address or the institution where you work. In case of difficulty, you can always contact the creators of the application to unblock you. Once registered, you have access to a central dashboard that allows you to create the activities.

Create audio exercises for your students

Only the teacher creates an account, with an academic or school address, verified by email. Students have nothing to create: they access the activities via a link or code provided by the teacher.

From their space, teachers can create three types of resources:

Oral activities. Recitation, expressive reading, presentation, image description … The student registers, the teacher automatically retrieves the files.

From training to tests. With subject draw, preparation time and stopwatch. Designed for Grand Oral, patent, EAF, modern languages.

Audio capsules. The teacher records a personalised oral correction, instruction or feedback podcast. It shares it via a URL link, a QR code, or by integrating it directly into a site or ENT. The file is also downloadable in MP3.

Concrete, disciplinary uses

The app offers uses in several contexts: training in modern languages, preparation for DNB and Grand Oral, but also the Feynman method, this technique where the student explains a concept aloud to check that he has really understood it. Mon Oral also offers a module dedicated to this method (in beta version), as well as an eloquent trainer called Maître Cicéron (I love it).

I like, I like less

What I like

The approach is designed for the real class. No student account, no password to manage, no installation. We share a bond, it works. The recordings arrive directly in the teacher’s area.

The fact that it comes from two field teachers is felt in the design choices. Nothing superfluous. Congratulations.

Several Video Tutorials are available on the site, including step-by-step guides to set up an activity or training.

What I like less

The interface is not the most intuitive at first glance. It takes a little time to understand the difference between an activity, a workout and a capsule.

There is no foreign language version. For colleagues who teach in a multilingual context or for allophone students, this is a limit.

An excellent app to put audio in your classes and for remote class to add without hesitation to your tools to work with audio.

Privacy

The site explicitly displays the GDPR badge. A dedicated page details the personal data collected. No student data is required for enrolment, which is a positive point.

Don't miss out

My Oral collect the right points. Free, no student account, multiplatform. It covers real needs: train orally, prepare the Grand Oral, give audio feedback to students. It is not a gadget. It is a solid tool, maintained for several years by teachers who use it themselves.

To be tested as soon as the next sequence where the oral is on the programme.
