Impact of Mobile-Facilitated Peer Feedback Platform on Improving the Accuracy of Spoken English: An Experimental Study

Peer Assessment (PA) has reformed the conventional teacher-centred assessment by adopting a more learner-oriented approach. This instructional strategy, especially in its online design, has gained popularity, although its integration into traditional classroom environments presents noteworthy challenges. The present study aims to assess the efficacy of Mobile-facilitated peer feedback platform on improving the accuracy of Spoken English. In this study, a Mobile-Facilitated Peer Feedback Platform (MF-PFP) employing Instant Response System (IRS) mechanisms was introduced to enhance spoken English by addressing grammatical errors (such as articles, prepositions, tenses, and sentence structures) among Indian ESL learners, specifically those in the 12th grade. The experimental study was used to assess the efficacy of this method in English language class for Indian secondary schools. The participants were selected using random sampling. The analysis involved 132 participants, with half of the students (66) in the experimental group utilizing the MF-PFP method, while the other half adhered to the traditional teacher-led assessment approach. The data were analysed using Repeated Measure ANOVA test. The results demonstrate that the MF-PFP approach significantly enhances students’ spoken accuracy for article (mean = 4.13), prepositions (mean = 4.485), tense (mean = 3.53) and sentence structure (mean = 1.12) by reducing grammatical errors for article (mean = 2.93), prepositions (mean = 3.634), tense (mean = 1.92) and sentence structure (mean = 0.71) in their English learning process. The study’s findings may incorporate lessons for teaching the English language, particularly for spoken English grammar.
