DEVELOPING ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS AMONG ENGINEERING STUDENTS USING CA-AVR METHODOLOGY

In proportion to the development of technology, it has become compulsory for colleges of technology to train students in speaking skills so that they may communicate with people all over the world in English as an international language. Speaking English plays an important role in everyday life. As it is totally a different skill most of the Engineering students whose mother tongue is not English face lots of problems while communicating in English. The present study is a novel approach to the existing methods to enhance speaking skills among engineering students using CA-AVR methodology, with the help of this method all the activities of the students which are performed in the English language labs are recorded and maintained as student's portfolio which helps the language teacher to evaluate the students' performance from the beginning to the middle of the semester and at the end. This is a web-based application which has been developed using the following technologies: • HTML, CSS and Bootstrap Framework (for design and appearance) • Javascript, jQuery (for client side validations) • PHP (for server-side programming) • MySQL database (for storage of information)
