Educators around the world have employed different technology-based learning tools to smooth the studying experience of learners in various fields. English teaching is no exception because English is an international communication tool that is used in many countries and communities. English speaking is considered to be one of the most challenging skills that requires mastery to be fluent in English. Numerous studies have examined the advantages and drawbacks of using technology to teach English-speaking skills. However, the number of studies focusing on the ChatterKid app is limited. Based on the mentioned facts, this study was implemented to evaluate the influence of using the ChatterKid app on students’ speaking skills at Thai Nguyen University of Education in Vietnam. Ninety first-year students participated in this quasi-experimental study for 12 weeks. The tests and questionnaire were applied to collect data; SPSS analyzed the data to draw the conclusion for the study. The findings indicated that the ChatterKid app significantly improved the speaking level of students, especially fluency, and students had positive attitudes towards the use of this app.

The research is set to examine students’ perspectives on using YouTube for English language learning and its impact on their motivation and autonomy in education. A mixed-methods approach was employed, which surveyed 333 English-major students at Van Lang University using a 24-item multiple-choice questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The questionnaire was based on the TAM model, which includes three factors: Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, and Intention of Use. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten students to delve deeper into their individual experiences and perspectives, focusing on the themes of skill development, motivation, and autonomy. Data revealed that students generally find YouTube an effective tool to motivate them to learn English and give them control over their learning. Also, apart from listening, students are found to have their speaking skills enhanced to some extent. This research recommends that English teachers adapt and adjust the use of YouTube for both in-class assignments and homework. Therefore, teachers may encourage their students' motivation and autonomy, eventually resulting in more effective and enjoyable language learning.

With the increasing integration of technology into language education, conversational videos have gained popularity for their ability to provide learners with rich content and context while facilitating language acquisition. However, there is still more to learn about how these videos affect student participation in the classroom, especially for Vietnamese students taking general English courses. This study addresses this gap by investigating students’ perceptions of conversational videos’ influence on classroom engagement at a foreign language center in Can Tho City, Vietnam. Using a mixed-method design, questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data from 30 intermediate Vietnamese learners in General English classes. The questionnaires were employed to explore the EFL learners’ opinions on the effectiveness of conversational videos through behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. In addition, the data collected from the interviews were analyzed to provide detailed explanations in this study. The findings indicate that most learners appreciated the usefulness of conversational videos in enhancing three types of engagement in the classroom learning process. This research seeks to shed light on the effectiveness of integrating conversational videos into language instruction and its implications for enhancing learner engagement, thereby informing pedagogical practices in similar contexts.
