VoScreen As A Listening Aid: A Digitalized Learning Experience
Öz
While learning a foreign language, it is quite widespread now to take advantage of mobile devices and applications because they
provide lots of authentic activities and abundant chances of repetition that language learners need. As a popular mobile
application, VoScreen encapsulates several beneficial features for learners who have different proficiency levels. With numerous
video materials in the application which are clipped from famous movies, TV series or advertisements, learners are provided with
a vast number of audiovisual materials, which allows them to improve their language proficiency. Bearing those features of
VoScreen in mind, this study was conducted to find out the differences in the perceptions of the elementary and intermediate
level EFL students towards the use of VoScreen as an aid for listening comprehension. The participants of the study are 30 EFL
students divided into 2 distinctive groups considering their language proficiency levels. During the study, each group utilized
VoScreen application to scaffold their listening proficiency for eight weeks. At the end of the study period, students were asked
to fill a survey and a questionnaire to find out their perceptions towards VoScreen practices. Also, semi-structured interviews
were carried out to get in-depth sight of student opinions. The study demonstrated that there is no meaningful difference between
the elementary and intermediate level EFL students in terms of their perceptions towards VoScreen use as an aid for listening
comprehension even though elementary level EFL learners have slightly higher perception scores. The study also revealed that
EFL learners are in the opinion that VoScreen use provides many benefits for them, and it is an effective listening aid.
