Moodle and VoiceThread for speaking and listening • Activities were tailored to specific learning needs of
the group • Worked well in supporting and revising speaking and
listening material covered in face to face classes • Students liked having the opportunity to do extra
speaking and listening practice at home • Moodle looked attractive – students really liked the
images • Listening to each other’s speaking samples fostered
collaboration and a supportive learning environment

Student feedback • “I can’t wait to go home and show my
fantastic learning to my kids” • “I love listening to Merra because she sounds
like music - so I’m learning from Merra” • “If you don’t know what homework to do, you
can always do online.” • “It’s great to listen to things a few times to
hear what you missed the first time.” • “It was so embarrassing at first to listen to my
voice – but I am learning from hearing myself and everyone else and I feel OK now”

Lessons learnt
• Technical difficulties do need to be worked through
• Sourcing authentic materials is a challenge • Students need even more opportunity to
practice structures orally • Students would benefit from even more
focus on pronunciation • Answer keys are needed need to ensure so
that students can genuinely learn independently
