Role of Preparation using Mobile Application for Summary-speaking Task in Face-to-face English-Speaking Pair Work

Abstract

The study proposes a learning method that combines English summary-speaking tasks using Mobile Application for Summary-speaking Task (MAST) as preparation and face-to-face pair work. The method aims to increase learners’ skill for utilizing previous knowledge, such as strategic competence. Although we demonstrated the effectiveness of pair work, the effective of self-study using MAST on pair work remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the necessity of self-study using MAST for pair work. The results indicate that students who conducted sufficient self-study using MAST as preparation followed by pair work could reflect on their speech and consider detailed improvements, that led to an effective experiential learning model.
