Application Model of Social Media Platforms in College English Listening and Speaking Teaching

As college English listening and speaking teaching faces problems such as difficulty in improving students' oral skills, lack of learning motivation and insufficient teaching interaction, this paper introduces social media platforms to solve these challenges. Specifically, this paper explores the combined application of iFlytek's "fif oral training app", DingTalk online teaching and WeChat teacher-student communication platform to improve students' oral skills and learning interest. Through task-oriented learning of iFlytek's "fif oral training app", students can complete oral tasks regularly and get real-time feedback, effectively improving pronunciation and grammar. DingTalk's online interactive classroom breaks the time and space limitations of traditional teaching, allowing teachers to monitor students' progress in real time and provide personalized guidance. The WeChat platform stimulates students' sense of participation and learning motivation through daily interactions, oral challenges and group discussions, and promotes the improvement of oral skills. The experimental results show that at the end of the experiment (week 8), the average scores of the experimental group are 8.6 points for pronunciation, 8.5 points for fluency, 8.5 points for grammar, and 8.2 points for vocabulary, while the average scores of the control group are 8 points for pronunciation, 7.7 points for fluency, 8 points for grammar, and 8 points for vocabulary. After using social media platforms to assist learning, students not only improve their grammatical accuracy but also are able to speak more naturally and confidently.
