Abstract :
One quarter of the worldpsilas population use english language as the mother tongue. Researches show that Asian students who take an oral test expect the result to be very positive, when in actual practice the format poses a real difficulty. The report of the language training & testing center of Taiwan indicates the numbers of people who pass the oral examination are few, and that the main factor in failing is in "answering the question". This study is based on a problem-posing approach. Through an interactive voice response system, the learner spends several minutes to practice orally every day. The system will compare the keyword with the answer on the database, and the result will be sent as a short message to the learner and establishing his oral reaction capability.
