UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY FOR ENHANCING EFL LEARNERS' SPEAKING AND LISTENING SKILL
Main Article Content
Abstract
The abstract highlights the use of technology to assist students in honing their speaking and listening proficiencies. With technology getting better and better, teachers are using more tools and platforms to help students learn languages better. This paper discusses the good things and problems that come with using technology to teach speaking and listening. Using technology to teach speaking and listening skills has many benefits. First, it helps students practice real language using interactive online videos, podcasts, and virtual reality games. These tools help students to hear and understand different kinds of talking, making their listening skills better. Also, technology makes it easier for students to learn at their speed. They can listen to audio materials as many times as they need to better understand them. Online platforms have tools that help students record their voices and do video calls, so they can practice speaking with support. These tools also let students work together and give each other feedback, which helps them learn to communicate in a new language. In brief, using technology to teach speaking and listening skills has many beneficial points. By using the right technology and giving support to teachers and students, educators can make language learning more exciting and help students get better at communicating.
