Research Abstract

Teacher-student time is an important variable in effective education for the EFL classroom. Technology is an effective way to combat large class sizes. In this report, we would like to discuss our development and usage of our Virtual Interviewing System (VIS) for assessing student’s language interviews. The purpose of this research is to help students practice and enhance theircommunicative skills for that future job interview or speaking test that determines their academic future.
