English language skills consist of four categories, there are writing, reading, speaking, and listening. In this case we are going to talk about speaking. Speaking is one of language skill to help us in communicated with others. We can produce a language if we get comprehensible input. In other word, the comprehensible input will produce a good output. Besides, when we do speaking we should give clear pronunciation and message that we will because the interlocutor will
When we do speaking we have to have ability to understand the messages, negotiate meaning, and comprehensible output. As I have said in the first paragraph, comprehensible output is importance that need the learners more critique in negotiate meaning, analyze of structures and functions, from that the learners can receive feedback from their interlocutor and the learners can produce the language accurately. I think, pronunciation is important to produce the language.
Nowadays, technology provides various kinds of software and tools to help the learners learned language. A learning process not only happen in classroom, but when the learners plays a games, using social network or internet that use English as media for communication. The students learned English indirectly. Besides, the technology also has any kind of software to help the learners in communication skill, such as MOOs, Chat Rooms that will help the students in conversation. The computer has three functions, the first is computer used as Tutor (human to computer). Second is computer as an instructional tool (human to human via computer in classroom). The last is computer used as a communication medium (human to human via computer outside the classroom). Through technology the students can learned in wherever they are.

I like chatting in virtual world like yahoo messenger. It enhances me to learn language well. It is because I was connected to all people in the world by using English as international language.
I do agree with you Emma, I also like chatting with native because we can learn from that, besides we can get a slang word from her/him, and I like it too :D
I think, we can apply chatting or other activities that can encourage the students interest in language learning when do teaching soon.
Upit . if we do chatting . is it speaking?
Chatting is reading and writing in my mind because we can't speaking directly .
How you measure that your students ability in speaking have been improved by technology?
Nurul Hidayah: Actually, I just respond the question from Ema. Yes chatting for reading or writing skills.
April: the teacher itself who will assess the students' ability and the teacher will consider the assessment with the objectives. Actually, The technology is just a tool.
