Abstract

ESAP refers to English for a specific discipline, which specificity includes technical or special vocabulary, varying uses of academic grammar such as passive voice and nominalization, and particular professional and academic genres which are produced by the discipline. Thinking in how to increase the English speaking confidence and competence of non-native speakers, this study has aims to analyze how the use of Android and iOS voice recording tools can develop students’ speaking English skills in an English Letters graduation course in Brazil. The study pointed out that voice recording tools provide learners with opportunities to produce oral output, since they allow students to practice their speaking skills inside and outside the classroom, bringing up more confidence and courage to use ESAP in classroom.
