Abstract
This study investigates the impact of integrating educational platforms, specifically Educaplay and StoryJumper, on enhancing oral production skills in 7th grade English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students at Liceo de Higuito in San José, Costa Rica, during the second quarter of 2024. Using an Action-Oriented Approach, the study aims to assess how these digital tools influence students’ confidence, engagement, and proficiency in oral production skills in English. Data were collected through pre- and post-test questionnaires and classroom observations, analyzing changes in students’ attitudes and oral skills. Conclusions indicate a distinguished increase in student confidence, particularly with Educaplay, which fostered active engagement through gamified activities. StoryJumper also positively impacted oral skills, however it presented challenges for some students due to its focus on storytelling and grammar integration. Overall, the study concludes that integrating Educaplay and StoryJumper promotes improved oral production skills and confidence among EFL students
