Abstract
English oral communication ability has become increasingly important for many EFL learners. This paper introduces how we use a new automatic speech recognition technology to develop a website for EFL students. This website offers several different types of exercises which allow students to practice speaking and obtain immediate feedback. A group of 30 EFL students were invited to use the website. A survey was conducted to investigate students’ perceptions of this site. The results indicated that most students enjoyed using this website; they also felt the site could help improve their English oral skills. Students, however, also pointed out that the website content and design can be further improved.
