“EZ Talk,” as designed by the International Language Corner of Asia
University (ILCAU), is the most popular and frequently participated in
activity on campus for situational communication learning practices in
English. Many instructors have begun to try integrating this activity into
their English teaching syllabus in various ways.
There are two research purposes for the present study. One was to
investigate the students’ learning preferences, difficulties, and effectiveness
derived from participating in “EZ Talk” through a questionnaire survey
method. The other was to explore if students’ frequency of attendance to
“EZ Talk” bettered their ability in listening and speaking.
Based upon the findings, the present study hopes to promote the idea
of supplementing “EZ Talk” with other related academic English courses.
By connecting the extracurricular learning activity with English language
skills learned from the classroom, a higher learning effectiveness for the
language will be achieved.
