Abstract

Learning how to communicate orally is one of the most important skills in ESL. However, a significant number of students are unable to achieve satisfactory results in this area for a variety of reasons, including insufficient self-assurance and a lack of intrinsic motivation. This study is focusing on the performance of pre-university students in the area of speaking. It delves deeply into their thoughts regarding the learning process of speaking in front of the class as well as their perspectives on the application of technology. In addition, the opinions of the experts on how they evaluate the students' speaking abilities are analysed, and some ideas are also discussed in this section of the research. The primary objective of the research is to provide the students with access to a platform that will, at the very least, improve their lack of self-confidence while simultaneously enhancing their motivation. It is known as the Flipped Small Private Online Classroom for Speaking platform (F-SPOCS Live Streaming Platform). The students are expected to give oral presentations, and it is hoped that this online platform will be able to help them. It is believed that the students will be able to perform commendably in their presentation if they put in ample effort to prepare for it and practise it.
