Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study was to explore affective aspects and speaking skills of university students as a result of using technological tools. The impact of virtual exchanges using Padlet and Zoom was investigated. A group of 10 college students participated in the study, completing a 10-item questionnaire on anxiety and another 9-item questionnaire on unwillingness to communicate before and after the three virtual exchange sessions. Additionally, the participants' speaking ability was evaluated through one-on-one role-playing tests conducted both before and after the intervention. Open-ended responses and participant reflections were also analyzed to gain further insights. While results indicate that there was no statistically significant effect on reducing speaking anxiety, the study revealed a noteworthy decrease in participants' unwillingness to speak English, accompanied by enhanced speaking skills. These findings carry implications for the field of language education, particularly in the context of online exchanges for the current generation of students.</p>
