Abstract

This study examines the importance of fluent and effective English-speaking skills, a key goal for many language learners seeking to engage in meaningful communication. The research focuses on students' perceptions of developing these skills through technology, based on focus group interviews with ten undergraduate students at UFM. The qualitative findings highlight various learning strategies employed by students to improve their English-speaking abilities, including creating recordings, making self-talk videos, watching American films, viewing YouTube content, and interacting with peers online. The analysis also identifies motivational factors and challenges influencing students’ independent efforts to enhance their speaking proficiency.
