The purpose of Language Communication AI and AII in the Faculty of Environmental Studies is to develop students’speaking ability in English to discuss environmental problems with people from other countries. Therefore, at the end of each semester students are to make a presentation about environmental topics. In order to cultivate speaking skills as a basis of communication and presentation in English, an experiment was done that students recorded their reading of a pattern-practice textbook on an IC recorder for 40 minutes in a week, that is, 600 minutes in total in a semester. Before and after the experiment, an oral test was given to both the class for the experiment and that of the control group which did not have any recording assignments. The oral test was consisted of 10 basic questions, and students answered each question in one minute. As a result, students in the experiment class spoke 4.03 sentences per minute (SPM) in average, and the control group spoke 2.91 SPM. From the questionnaire, students who did recording gave favorable feedback about effectiveness of assignments. This paper is to report about this experiment using IC recorders.
