Vacaroo


A platform for students to talk about anything they like. They can record their voices and send it to teachers for feedbacks.This tool could develop students speaking skills and build confidence in speaking.

What is special about Vacaroo?

  • Free and easily accessible.
  • The recording procedure is simple and easy.
  • The recorded voice is clear.
  • Record voices, send them to teachers for assessment or feedbacks
  • Used to practise speaking skills
Limitations of it?

  • Dependant on internet connection. No internet, no Vacaroo.
  • Limited for 5 minutes recording. Any recording more than 5 minutes should be done many times.
How it can be used in class?

I would suggest that teachers ask students to Vacaroo everyday and listen to their own recordings and their friend's recordings too to build their confidence in speaking.
Teachers could set a topic for the students to speak on or ask the students to make daily recorded journal.
