Technology-Facilitated Oral Homework: Leveraging Technology to Get Students Speaking outside the Classroom
Shanks, David
Research-publishing.net
Technology-Facilitated Oral Homework (TFOH) is an umbrella term for the use of digital technologies that enable learners to record themselves speaking the target language and submit recordings to their teachers from outside the formal classroom environment. The goal is that this practice could lead to a decrease in debilitative Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) as well as increases in students' oral confidences, L2 decoding abilities, and motivation. This chapter defines TFOH, describes a case study in which it was used, and discusses the benefits of and potential issues with using TFOH in the language learning classroom. [For the complete volume, see ED612143.]
