Video assignments in teacher training

På de högre seminarierna vid Institutionen för språkdidaktik presenteras och diskuteras pågående såväl som avslutad forskning, både av våra egna forskare och forskare som gästar oss.

Abstract

The focus of this presentation was on the use of video assignments in two English courses for pre-service primary school teachers (Years 4-6). The assignments were introduced for three reasons: to increase student-teacher contact time, to facilitate the development of students' oral proficiency, and to provide opportunities for using digital tools. The assignments have proven to provide an important complement to other student work, as well as to be time-saving for teachers. A description of the assignments, together with student and teacher evaluations, was presented.
