Electronic means offer enourmous potential of out-class speaking practice
Portfolios and diaries
A useful way to raise their awareness of their strengths and weaknesses and also to monitor their progress over time is to ask learners to reflect on their out-of-class speaking experiences.
they may be motivated to try out strategies that seem to have worked for their peers by sharing these experiences with other learners.
Way to sustain: keep a journal or portfolio of their extracurricular language use
The idea of it: essential feature of the European Language Portfolio
It can be integrate into classroom activities in a less formal way
Eg: Asking learners to share their experiences of out of class language encounters
The teachers own stories as a useful model for the students
How to maximize speaking opportunities outside the classroom is by act as an indirect form
Human-computer interaction
Computer programs have also been developed to model human-human interaction by responding to written feedback.
Called
chatterbots
Although some chatterbots are able to synthesize speech, given the current state of automatic speech recognition software and the enormous amount of data that would have been entered, sustained conversation is still some way off.
However, where the context is tightly restricted, so that the number of possible utterances is limited, some degree of spoken interaction between humans and computers can now take place.
