USING THE VOSCREEN APPLICATION AS A PEDAGOGICAL TOOL TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ LISTENING AND READING SKILLS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Abstract

This research paper introduces the Voscreen application as an extra pedagogical tool that EFL teachers can use in the classroom as an attempt to improve students’ listening and reading skills. Also, it shows how digital resources can promote an engaging, interactive, and efficient learning. Our research can be classified as a bibliographical study of a descriptive nature, since we propose to analyze studies developed by some scholars. Therefore, as a theoretical base, we had the studies of Gil (1994), Paiva (2013), Taylan (2018), Tucker-Seeley (2005), Singhal (1997) and Stosic (2015). We believe that the new social demand requires that teachers should include digital resources in their pedagogical practices to enhance the quality of their classes. Also, we believe that the use of interactive applications can be a good strategy adopted by teachers. due to the fact that students are already inserted in this technological context.
