This review of literature examines the impact of digital technologies on the development of speaking skills for students in English classes in Ecuador, which are centered around teaching modalities that stimulate communication and include everyone. It combines new research from Latin America and core ideas about how people learn to communicate and use technology. The review considers digital tools such as videos, voice notes, video platforms, mobile apps, and tools that help with pronunciation using artificial intelligence. The research shows that tech is most useful in planned lessons (guided preparation, speaking tasks, pair work, ongoing feedback), not when being used on its own. In poor rural areas or where internet is rare, good strategies may include sharing devices, doing activities without internet, and using brief audio recordings to practice and get feedback. Continuing issues include inequitable access, lack of teacher training, privacy, and testing concerns. In general, digital tools help the most when used with clear teaching goals and inclusion of all students.
