COELLO VASQUEZ, Javier et al. Using Flipgrid to enhance oral production and pronunciation in English language learning: A case study. Revista InveCom [online]. 2024, vol.4, n.2, e040204.  Epub May 19, 2024. ISSN 2739-0063.  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10558652.

This research aimed to analyze strategies to improve students' oral production in a foreign language. Flipgrid is used as a digital resource to motivate English students at the Technical University of Babahoyo to speak and seek to improve their pronunciation and oral production. This research is carried out with 24 students belonging to an A2-Level and selected under a convenience sample, divided into two groups, intervention, and control. A pre-test was developed to obtain a baseline of students’ oral production of both groups and a post-test to evaluate whether, using the Flipgrid tool, the intervention group showed a significant improvement in relation to the control group. The results show that the intervention group managed to reduce the average number of pronunciation errors during oral production by 24%, while the control group achieved an improvement equivalent to 3%. Thus, there is evidence that the Flipgrid tool is a great supporter of English-speaking activities. However, teachers must create effective strategies to include this or other technological tools in their classes, to raise motivation and the participation of the students and achieve an academic improvement in them.
