This research study focused on improving oral skills through the use of peer-feedback and students’ recorded videos. Participants of this study were twenty-eight students from a public institution located in a small parish in Guayas province. A first video, a fourth video, the rubrics that learners used to provide the feedback to their peers, and a Likert scale survey were the instruments to collect data in this research. At the end of this journey, the results showed that the learners improved their oral competences in general terms but also in their accuracy, choice of words, and interactive communication. Results indicated that the first video presented a mean of 2.66 but the last one a mean of 5.30. The outcome of the survey displayed positive points of view about the application of the innovation. Consequently, the use of recorded videos was proven to improve students’ oral skills. This study can also be a reference for instructors that want to enhance their students’ oral performance and update their teaching practices.
