Popis: In a previous study, we developed the Mobile Application for Summary Speaking Task by self-study (MAST) and proposed a learning design which combines MAST and pair work in an English class. Learners practice summary speaking task with MAST by self-study and explain the summary to their peer in a classroom pair work. In this research, we improved the learning design by scaffolding self-study using a task like a conversation and by visualization of learners' learning achievement using proposed worksheet for the pair work aiming to increase the frequency of English-speaking self-study. We conducted an experiment for four weeks and analysis of the results implied that the improved learning design might be effective for increasing the frequency, which occurs from high self-efficacy and appropriate self-reflection.
