Nearpod virtual platform and speaking interactive practice

Abstract

Nearpod is considered an innovative virtual platform to teach. The main purpose of associating the use of this platform to English classes was to determine the influence it has on the development of speaking interactive practice in students of eighth "A" grade. For this study, the research methodology was non-experimental, descriptive, using two surveys to measure each Likert-type variable, with five value categories and 16 questions in total. It was applied to 19 students and 8 English teachers of the Unikids School, which represented a purposive sample. The results were obtained by applying the Chi-square test and using SPSS 25 statistical software to establish the rejection or acceptance of the hypotheses, which determined that: "The use of the Nearpod virtual platform does not have a significant impact on the development of interactive oral practice".
