- Abstract
This research explores the usefulness of mobile technologies in the language classroom, focusing on the Audience Response System (ARS) of Padlet, used in the French Language and Culture VI, discipline of foreign language courses. Based on an action research model, we intended, with this technology, to improve the oral skills of students after having found that the different confinements during the covid-19 pandemic, absenteeism, and lack of investment of learners in oral production caused a lower performance in this competence. Students are asked to upload to the Padlet a minimum of three book reports, three film reviews, and collaborative or individual activities completed in class. They all have in common the use of oral skills. Thus, students must post videos or podcasts and comment on their peers' publications, trying to highlight gaps in their oral skills and content. The data was collected through a questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions. The responses obtained show that the students have a positive attitude towards the use of digital technologies in the classroom and that this experience has had a positive impact on their oral proficiency. Students also indicated that the feedback resulted in a greater awareness of their difficulties.
