The Role of Teaching Software on Listening and Speaking Skills from the Perspective of English Public Speaking Training

Listening and speaking skills constitute pivotal components of English public speaking. Given the growing emphasis on English public speaking in the recent years within the English educational system, it is imperative to underscore the significance of these skills. While there has been a wealth of research concerning listening and speaking skills in English teaching for an extended period, studies with a specific focus on these skills within the context of English public speaking remain relatively scarce. These research endeavors primarily concentrate on students' capacity to develop listening and speaking skills and the pedagogical strategies adopted by teachers to facilitate such development. With the rapid advancement of computer technology, educational software has gained increased popularity in recent years, although the body of research in this area remains limited. Building upon the findings of previous research, this study investigates the realm of English public speaking training and aims to unveil the positive impacts associated with the utilization of teaching software on the enhancement of students' listening and speaking skills.
