What is Use of Technology in Teaching Speaking Skills about?

In the development of speaking skills digital technology plays various roles. It can be a means of communication between learners via messengers and videoconferencing software. It also allows for the use of audiovisual materials that support oral production by providing patterns or by empowering students to produce their own audiovisual texts, which involves recording and rehearsing speech samples and editing them. The use of digital technology also creates language learning environments in virtual worlds, in games, and in interactions with digital “robots.” It further helps to provide immediate feedback on oral production in speech‐to‐text applications and enables learners to hear what they write. Although analog technologies (e.g., audiolingual labs) were widely used for developing speaking in the 1970s this entry focuses on the current potential of digital technology and its application in teaching practices.
