Task-Based Approach Reading Activity

 

INTRODUCTION

In this activity, I completed an oral reading task about the Task-Based Approach using a digital platform. The activity consisted of reading a text aloud while the system recorded my voice and evaluated my pronunciation, fluency, speed, and accuracy. We had a limited amount of time to complete the reading, so it was necessary to maintain a good reading pace and clear pronunciation. This activity helped me practice important speaking skills and receive immediate feedback through technology.

 

EVIDENCE

The following images show part of the reading activity and the automatic feedback provided by the platform after completing the task.


 








 

OBSERVATION

During this activity, I observed that reading aloud in English requires concentration, pronunciation control, breathing, fluency, and appropriate speed. One of the biggest challenges was maintaining a balance between reading quickly and pronouncing words clearly because the activity had a time limit. I also noticed that some pronunciation mistakes and omissions affected my accuracy score. However, repeating the activity several times helped me improve my confidence and oral performance.

REFLECTION

This activity helped me improve important speaking skills such as pronunciation, fluency, rhythm, and reading speed. The automatic feedback provided by the platform allowed me to identify specific areas for improvement, including pronunciation accuracy and word omissions. I learned that technology and AI tools can support language learning by providing immediate feedback and opportunities for self-correction. Although the activity was challenging, it motivated me to continue practicing my oral English skills and become more confident when speaking and reading aloud in English.

 

CONCLUSION

Overall, this activity was a valuable learning experience because it combined speaking practice, self-assessment, and technology-assisted feedback. It helped me recognize my strengths and weaknesses in oral communication and encouraged me to continue improving my English pronunciation and fluency.
