Peer Feedback to Improve Speaking Facilitated with Mobile Devices

Abstract

In today’s world, English has become a primary source of language communication for different fields such as science, technology, industry, business, and education. English, considered the global language of the 21st century, has also been widely spread in the majority of countries around the world. Consequently, it has turned into a necessary tool for native and more importantly for non-native speakers to comprehend and negotiate meaning in a conversation. According to the British Council’s statistics in 2019, there were approximately 1.5 billion speakers whose native language was not English; compared to 400 million people whose mother tongue was English. Needless to say, English is a language that foreign learners prioritize and envision to manage to increase their job opportunities as well as foster their social communicative skills, education, and culture awareness (Howson, 2017).
