Abstract

Blended learning is a combination of the face-to-face classroom and the high-tech eLearning with the virtual platform Google Classroom in which students watch instructional videos and do certain comprehension tasks at home prior to in-class lessons. To our knowledge, very few studies have been conducted to explore the impact of blended learning with Google Classroom application classrooms for teaching English speaking skills in the secondary school context. Therefore, the current experimental study aims to investigate (1) EFL learners' perceptions of Google Classroom application in speaking classes; (2) The impacts of Google Classroom application on learners' speaking performance. The sample was 35 eighth-grade students coming from a secondary school in the Mekong Delta. The quasi-experimental research was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Quantitative data were collected by using Pre-Test and Post Test, whereas qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The findings show that students highly perceived the benefits of using Google Classroom in speaking class. However, students encountered some difficulties while using Google Classroom. It is believed that the results of this research will form a basis for future research in terms of practicality and theory. Article visualizations:

英语学习者对谷歌课堂应用在口语课上的看法

混合式学习是面对面课堂和高科技电子学习的结合，在虚拟平台谷歌课堂上，学生可以在课堂上观看教学视频并在家中完成某些理解任务。据我们所知，很少有研究探讨混合学习与谷歌课堂应用课堂对中学英语口语技能教学的影响。因此，本实验研究旨在调查(1)英语学习者对谷歌课堂在口语课堂上应用的看法;(2)谷歌课堂应用对学习者口语表现的影响。样本是来自湄公河三角洲一所中学的35名八年级学生。准实验研究采用定量和定性相结合的方法。定量数据通过前测和后测收集，定性数据通过半结构化访谈收集。调查结果显示，学生们高度认可在口语课上使用谷歌课堂的好处。然而，学生们在使用谷歌课堂时遇到了一些困难。相信本研究的结果将为今后的实践和理论研究奠定基础。可视化条
