Electronic-Portfolio-Based Digital Resource Book for ELT Speaking Course: A Development
Abstract
Technological advancement has created opportunities to integrate speaking development with portfolio assessment. However, as portfolio assessment is predominantly used in writing, its application to speaking remains underexplored. This study aimed to develop an e-portfolio assessment-based digital book to support students’ speaking development using a Research and Development with the ADDIE model: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through needs-analysis questionnaires and interviews, product evaluation sheets, speaking assessment criteria, and learning-attitude questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and score comparisons, while interview data were analyzed thematically to identify learners’ needs. The findings showed that English major students at a State University of Malang achieved an average two-point increase in speaking micro-skills and responded positively to the digital book and portfolio assessment. The study contributes to the integration of digital learning materials and e-portfolio assessment for continuous, reflective, and learner-centered speaking development.
