Using Whatsapp to Enhance Students’ Speaking Skills

María Fernanda Ibáñez-Apolo, Sandra Elizabeth Caamaño-López

Resumen


Nowadays, all human beings are strongly conditioned to use technology. Thus, cell phones are very demanding, either for fun, for information, or to communicate all over the World. Mobile devices make it more comfortable and faster to get information people need since they present multiple applications that provide many benefits. Therefore, it would not be complex to incorporate cell phones to learn something new and exciting every day. It should be noted that applications are a handy tool for anything we want to do from our cell phones, which makes our life easier for students and teachers. It is also considered as the main factor why learning English from mobile devices can be of great advantage, and even more, if it is incorporated into the most used application to communicate daily. For example, this is the application of "WhatsApp". In such a way, people create habits in the language by communicating regularly. This study analyses how WhatsApp can help to enhance the students' oral expression skills through academic methods incorporated in the teachers' methodologies for their students.
