| Abstract: | The present study tried to measure Individual and Group speaking e-portfolio to see if it affects Iranian EFL learners oral accuracy and if these two groups differ in the oral accuracy they gained during the experiment. Generally, it aimed to find out if e-portfolio can improve students oral accuracy and what the students perspectives of and attitudes towards speaking e-portfolio were and how these two groups differed in terms of their perceptions of and their attitudes towards speaking e-portfolios. To be specific, this study also focused on students feedback and its process during the experiment. Additionally, the problems students thought they encountered during their speaking e-portfolio experience were investigated. This study is a mixed methods research, in which there were four quantitative questions and four qualitative questions. There were three groups of students, a group-speaking e-portfolio group, an individual-speaking e-portfolio group and a control group. There were 84 male and female participants (43 males and 41 females) who participated in the study voluntarily, therefore, opportunity sampling was utilized. The participants were divided in six groups, each group contained about 15 students. They were supposed to be recorded by the teacher based on the discussions happening during the week, and two groups (a male group of 15 students, and a female group of 14 students) were recorded during group discussions, and the two other groups (a male group of 14 students, and a female group of 14 students) were recorded individually. All the participants were male and female Iranian students whose age ranged 16 17. These students' English proficiency level was mostly elementary, while a few were intermediate, which had been estimated by the OPT (Oxford Placement Test) by the standard statistics presented in the test. One sample t-test, paired samples t-test, skewness and kurtosis ratio, Bonferroni adjustment, Levene s test, ANCOVA, and MANOVA were run in order to test the null hypotheses related to the quantitative research questions. Notwithstanding, content analysis was accomplished, using frequency count and descriptive statistics in order to respond the qualitative research questions. Concerning the qualitative questions of this study content analysis was carried out using frequency count, and their attitudes and their perceptions towards keeping speaking e-portfolio in both individual and group speaking e-portfolio groups were compared, schematic descriptions were also demonstrated. The findings also showed that simple feedback was more in the initial sessions, while later constructive feedback became more. |
