An Exploration of Using Audio Recorded Speaking Tasks With VoiceThread for L2 Oral Proficiency Development
Abstract
The chapter explores how the use of voice recordings with VoiceThread facilitates and enhances the development of language learners' oral proficiency. Data from voice recordings, post-surveys, reflective essays, and final interviews were collected and analyzed. The findings showed that students engaged in sharing and exchanging L2 knowledge with their peers in a virtual multimodal environment. Asynchronous discussions allowed them more time for critical reflection on the content. Most students became more confident in their speaking. In addition, linguistic feedback provided by the instructor helped students improve language accuracy. The study suggests that allocating sufficient time to reflect on the content, making personal commitment to online contributions, and increasing instructor intervention to facilitate student participation in online interaction are essential to maximize the potential of VoiceThread to build learners' oral proficiency.
