Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through this three-year study, a set of mobile language learning apps aimed at improving speaking skills was developed and evaluated by the researchers. The apps were designed to capture images, audio and video from a mobile device and to display this media on a secure Moodle course page. Learners benefited from the integrated self, peer and instructor feedback functions embedded in the software. A computerized scoring of speech algorithm was also developed and tested using speech samples from learners. Both quantitative and qualitative data was gathered to determine to what extent the apps aided in the quality and quantity of oral production, in the reduction of learner anxiety, and in the improvement of communicative competence.
