“…These tools have expanded opportunities for online and blended learning by allowing students to practise skills and collaborate on tasks outside of the classroom (Barrett & Liu, 2016;Chang, Power, & Windeatt, 2022), resulting in a more flexible learning environment (Liu, 2011). The technology for audio recording has also advanced to the point where students can easily record themselves speaking and share their recording using portable (mobile) devices (Chang & Windeatt, 2021b), as well as allow teachers to provide regular feedback to students (Moneypenny & Simon, 2017).…”

Participating in oral L2 communication may be challenging for English-medium higher education students. While literature suggests that scaffolding facilitates the development of L2 speaking, research has not addressed the notion of tools for scaffolding its development. The aim of this study is twofold: (1) to investigate how scaffolding can be embodied in tool design to support L2 speaking and (2) to obtain and analyse student perceptions of the tools. We draw on questionnaire data gathered in two iterations of a larger design-based research study conducted in two contexts: English Studies students in Poland (N = 26) and culturally and linguistically diverse L2 learners in Australia (N = 12). This study illustrates how features of scaffolding were applied to map instructor, peer- and technology-based tools in terms of learning activities, resources, technology and feedback. The results suggest that these tools may cater to the multiple levels of student understanding and skill with regard to the development of L2 speaking found in modern L2 classrooms.
