英語授業におけるビデオ映像を活用したアクティブラーニング―展望論文―

抄録

This paper proposes a new active learning approach using video-recordings of language learners as models to teach public speaking skills in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. First, we explain the definition of active learning with a brief history and its application and theoretical background, and also clarify how the concept can be implemented in higher education. Furthermore, an in-depth examination of previous research findings on video-recordings in the EFL classroom is explored. Results show that students were able to reflect on and analyze ways to improve their performance after viewing the video-recordings of other learners. Through our research, we highlight the importance of selecting video-recordings that consider a host of opportunities for advancement. In our study, we also considered learners’ English proficiency levels to motivate them to assert themselves more in the classroom.
