Exploring the Effectiveness of Online Language Learning Platforms in Developing Speaking Skills at the Tertiary Level
Abstract
With the rapid advancement of technology, online language-learning platforms have become increasingly popular. Language learning has always been a crucial component of education. (Alfter et al., 2023). These platforms are especially appealing to tertiary students because they give them the comfort and flexibility to learn languages whenever and wherever they want. While many websites that teach languages make claims about how well they improve speaking abilities, it's important to evaluate these claims. This study investigates how well tertiary-level speaking abilities can be developed using online language learning tools.
