The structure and required environments for learning settings have drastically changed as a result of technological advancements and their rising impact in education (Melek, D. & Hatice, D., 2015). As recent surveys reveal, EFL students become increasingly sensitive, highly motivated and efficiently responsive to communication situations (Abbas Z., 2014) while naturally “digesting†the language tailored to their needs (Chau, J., 2006). In order to benefit from technological innovations, VietTESOL Virtual English Language Fellow (VELF) project instructors have provided the teachers with a variety of apps and tools to teach speaking skill in the classrooms. In the roles of project leaders and facilitators, we would like to take this opportunity to disseminate the knowledge and skills introduced in those two courses to those who did not have a chance to participate in the project. In this workshop, participants will be engaged in several activities to (1) share opinions about the merits of using technologies in teaching to enhance speaking skills of English learners; (2) discuss the relevant technological tools utilized for a speaking lesson: before (for preparation), during (for performance) and after (for self â€" assessment and peer - assessment); and (3) experience how to apply one of these tools in each phase of a speaking lesson in the textbook of grade 10. The workshop concludes by offering a number of recommendations which may further contribute to the improvement of teaching methods by advancing the widespread application of modern technology in teaching speaking skills in both online and offline settings.
