Περιγραφή
Περίληψη:While English fluency holds power in a globalized world, diversity in language skills remains essential for deeper understanding and learning experiences. This research study explores the potential of technology to equip students with the tools they need to confidently express themselves in English. Focusing on a group of eighth-semester students at the Universidad de Cotopaxi in Pujilí, Ecuador, the study investigated which technological tools are most effective in improving spoken English skills. It was built a robust theoretical framework to guide the investigation, ensuring a comprehensive and focused approach. To gather the correspondent data, two sets of 16-question surveys were distributed: one targeted language instructors for their professional insights, and the other surveyed students about their personal experiences with language-learning technologies. Various platforms and ICT principles were also considered. The findings revealed that both the study population and the sample group had embraced the use of technology in education, particularly for improving spoken English skills. In this line, technology offers a diverse and engaging learning environment, making it an attractive tool for language acquisition. However, the study acknowledges the need for further research. Understanding the specific mechanisms by which various technological tools enhance language learning, and examining their long-term effectiveness, are critical steps in optimizing this approach. This study serves as a springboard for further exploration and innovation in technology-assisted language learning. As we unlock the vast potential of these tools, we can democratize, personalize, and revolutionize language acquisition, creating a future where it is accessible, engaging, and empowering for all to learn languages easily, in fun and interactive ways, and feel empowered to use them.
