There are a lot of benefits to this digital tool. In Vocaroo, the students record themselves in English and it’s a good way for them to practice their speaking skills. It improves the self-confidence of the students in speaking. It gives a chance also to shy students that don’t speak in class to practice their speaking. The students can record and listen to themselves; they can take notes on their grammar and pronunciation. They can also use Vocaroo to rehearse their presentations

Vocaroo helps the students to practice their communication skills. The students share their recordings and respond to each other. The students can work together in-class activities such as podcasting, online discussions, explaining a process or procedure in a certain subject, and so on.
Vocaroo is free and can be used by anyone. However, Vocaroo is a flash-based tool, so it can’t be used by phones. Therefore, the teacher should give the tasks in Vocaroo as homework so the students will do it from their computers. Another option is to do the lesson in a computer room at school
