Using apps on the mobile phone to master English skills is not novel to learners. The application "Hallo" is an app allowing users making random audio calls with foreigners all around the world. The research was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of utilizing "Hallo" in fostering learners' English speaking. Ten English majored sophomores in Hong Duc university were chosen to participate in the study lasting ten weeks. These students were required to make daily conversations about assigned topics on the app "Hallo" and then video-record them to send to the lecturer for regular checking. The comparisons of pre-test and post-test results and classroom observations indicate that students made a big progress in English speaking skills and could communicate with others more fluently. The study suggests that this app should be applied under teachers' detailed guide lines to maximize its benefits and enhance learners' English speaking.
