Some years ago I found out a powerful tool where Students could be able
to talk as if they were recording a radio programme. The software gave them the
chance to record themselves while participating in a talkgroup where the
Teacher is the administrator of the account and therefore who gives the
permission to enter the group.
This task is quite interesting if we bear in mind the opportunity
learners have in TALKING in ENGLISH on their own, in the darkest and most
intimate corner of their bedroom with no one else who can interrupt their
quietness when expressing in a foreign language or even feeling the terror of
embarrassment in front of the class.
The tool is also practical, since the Students will receive a mark based
on their participation. Otherwise, the mark will not be positive since it will
show a lack of interest in the subject and more importantly in learning the
foreign language.
It has all the ingredients to become a Motivating, Cheerful, and Funny
activity in an English class...
LET'S TRY, THEN!
