Implementing Digital Tools in the EFL Speaking Classrooms

Abstract

Classroom interaction concerns many educators with different perspectives. Over the last two academic years, the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically transformed and shaped the English teaching profession. The paper aims to showcase how digital facilitation tools and mood checks work in English-speaking classrooms, increasing students' participation and lessening the feeling of one-way information flow. Mood checks are essential to explore learning psychology and learners' emotions in class. Communication happens before and after the first class meeting and while preparing for the lessons in the coming weeks. It is supposed that interactive activities and digital tools should help serve this purpose.
