The Role Of Technology In Developing Efl Speaking

This research investigates the transformative impact of technological integration on the oral proficiency of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. The study evaluates how diverse digital ecosystems—including mobile applications, web-based communication tools, and Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) software—facilitate improvements in pronunciation, linguistic accuracy, and conversational fluency. By leveraging features such as real-time corrective feedback and immersive multimedia content, technology fosters a learnercentric environment that encourages autonomy and provides exposure to authentic linguistic input. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the psychological benefits of gamification and virtual peer interaction in mitigating foreign language speaking anxiety. Despite challenges like the digital divide and technological over-reliance, the findings underscore that technology serves as a vital catalyst in modern pedagogy, bridging the gap between traditional instruction and real-world communicative competence.
