Oral Skill Development Through the Use of Digital Technologies: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The present article consists of a qualitative, descriptive-interpretative systematic review, whose objectives are (1) to present which teaching-learning approaches are most used in the development of oral skills through digital technologies; (2) investigate which tools are the most used to develop oral skills in digital environment; (3) what aspects of orality are being the most studied and (4) what possibilities and restrictions are indicated. We analyzed 56 papers, among articles, dissertations and thesis collected from three databases. The implications of this work also point to research gaps in the area, such as the absence of studies on critical perspectives in the work with technology and orality, and the lack of research that deals with the question of orality via ICT in the initial and continuing training of LE teachers.
