Speaking Challenge: Voxopop

One of the most interesting workshops that I attended at Tesol was the one about Voxopop which was given by ESL teachers in the States.

Voxopop is a voice based e-Learning tool that can used for language speaking practice with collaborative focus. Students can participate in one or many talkgroups throughout the course. And, it is super easy to use and, all it takes is voice-recording in a kind of message board that uses voice instead of written text.

Voxopop is an excellent alternative to workbook exercises since it is much more interactive and dynamic. Students can be assigned with different kinds of language speaking practice, such as presentations, discussion forums, or developing an opinion and that can all be recorded in a web-based free-of-charge plataform that can be acessed from anywhere, anytime.
