An Output Activity Using e-learning for Large-sized English Classes

Abstract

This paper discusses an output activity for a large-size English class with students of various levels of English proficiency. This output activity was created using free lesson construction software Hot Potatoes through consideration of the results and problems found in our previous research, and based on findings in Second Language Acquisition (SLA). The activity was posted on the open-source e-learning platform Moodle, and students checked their output using their own personal computers after having completed face-to-face reconstruction practice. As a result, student reaction suggested that this activity could benefit large-sized and mixed-ability English classes.
