Description

This article deals with updates on VoiceShadow, a Moodle plug-in designed to enable students to easily record audio while “shadowing,” where they can listen to a model audio and simultaneously record their own speech without reading the text. It allows self-, peer-, and teacher- evaluations, and supports the recording of multiple audio files and user commenting. Since recordings are sorted by student names, it enables teacher and students to easily follow a series of speaking assignments, encouraging interaction. With the latest version of the VoiceShadow plug-in, students can conduct shadowing practice not only on computers, but also on mobile devices. It also has a built-in feature that transcribes speech by utilizing Google Speech API. Many English learners are not always confident about whether they can make themselves understood by native English speakers. One way to help determine how well their speech might be understood is to use a speech recognition engine of this sort. It is hoped that this latest plug-in will be helpful to those who want to improve their listening and speaking ability by performing shadowing practice in foreign language courses.
