Suggested lesson plan using vocaroo
a)speaking skill
1. Teacher can use it to develop for speaking skill. First,teacher can teach any topic that you
want students to practice later on.For instance,teacher teach past tense in order for students to be
able to tell story of unforgettable moment in their life.
2.Teacher then gives example of his story.
3.Students then work in class with their partner.They can do the draft together and help on each
other's idea.
-students can do recording as a homework of the same question
-sharing option-everyone puts up on the same website,i.e.
class blog
- then you can ask students to vote on the best one
b) journal audio recording
-It can be use as formative assessment for speaking.Teacher gives different topic each time to assess students' improvement in speaking.This is easier to access as students and teacher can listen to the recording repeatedly.
