TBLT & CALL: challenges and obstacles in ELT

An introduction to computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and task-based language teaching (TBLT) for student teachers in our Masters in Teaching English programme at the University of Nice. I’ve linked to a number of examples of CALL projects and classroom technology use, as well as references to other resource sites and a short annotated bibliography. Feedback welcome!

Technology-mediated CALL in your classroom

Story Slam

Moth story

an example of a technology-mediated task: storytelling with second year students of English, Media & Communication.

• the teacher prepares introductory lesson using a Moth story with transcript prepared on storyscribe
• students talk in class, record on smartphones, then upload a recording to SoundCloud
• the teacher creates a Google Form to collect SoundCloud links (see also Form tips here)
• the teacher creates a generic message on gmail for individual feedback
• the teacher makes a webpage for general feedback including resources for further study (WordPress, Google sites or Weebly)

Technology-mediated CALL to connect classrooms

Who’s who? task

Primary EFL class exchange (France-Germany)

The French primary class makes a set of video selfies to send to a partner class in Germany, using English as a lingua franca. The German class does the same, and each class watches their partners’ videos to identify the pupils in a group photo.

Tools

• Tablet technology: to make and share their video selfies, the learners used the iPad camera
• Online sharing: for exchanging videos, the teachers used Google Drive and Gmail.
• Classroom exploitation: to watch the videos, the teachers used
  • • iPads
    • a laptop computer (with projector)
    • an IWB.
• Video-stimulated recall: to facilitate discussion of classroom activities, the teacher educator used
  • camera, microphone, tripod
  • iMovie video editing application
  • Vimeo video sharing platform (http://vimeo.com).

Technology for professional development

Peer filming in task-based language teacher education

This activity was designed for first year students in our Masters in Teaching English programme at the University of Nice. It involves peer filming, where student teachers watch each other teach an activity in a secondary school EFL class and make video recordings using their smartphones. They then select an episode for discussion in their university class, and write up their analysis in a reflective paper.

The Moth story slam: le numérique et l’apprentissage par tâches pour communiquer en anglais

Journée Parlons pédagogie à l’université

UNS, 6 novembre 2018

Pour améliorer les presentations à l’oral des étudiants il est important de trouver une motivation pour communiquer et d’assurer une correction ciblée pour chacun. Le format “story slam” permet aux étudiants de raconter une histoire personnelle sur un thème commun devant un public et un jury de leurs pairs. Ils s’enregistrent avec leur smartphone et partagent leur fichier audio avec l’enseignant sur une plateforme de distribution audio pour un retour personnalisé (lexique, grammaire, phonologie)

Quick and dirty video transcription: the YouTube solution

Maybe everyone has been doing this for years and I’m coming late to the party, or maybe YouTube has unobtrusively added some functionality recently, but it seems it’s now possible to get a quick and dirty transcript of a video by uploading it to YouTube and letting the platform offer automatic closed captions. You can then keep it warts and all, or use the integrated editor to make modifications in the text and the timing to produce acceptable subtitles. Then you can export the subtitle file in a number of formats, such as .srt, which you can open in a word processor/text editor and save as .txt for example. This process is useful for language teaching, for open educational resources, and for research relying on video corpora.

Here are the steps.

1. Upload your video to YouTube.

This is one we made some years ago as a Christmas video suitable for secondary EFL:

This video is public (obviously) but you can set it to private if you wish, either before you upload or once it’s online.

2.  View the closed captions

Just click on the icon to toggle captions. You can specify a language when you upload, or just let nature take its course. A video in English by one of my French students was misidentified as Dutch, so best to set the language if there’s a risk of misidentification.

3. Edit captions

If you click on Edit you will see the following menu:

You need the Subtitles/CC option. Once here, click on the Edit button (top right) and you get something like this

You can edit in the left menu or on the ribbon below the video. You can change timecodes in either place, though it’s easier to use the waveform beneath the video.

If you look closely at the transcript above you’ll see all is fine until the fourth entry, at “have divine free” which doesn’t seem to make sense. Select this section and hit play and you’ll hear “add the vine fruit” – pause the video to give yourself time to modify the text. The next error is “county peel” which on closer listening turns out to be “candied peel” so I can fix that too. If you do check the video on YouTube you’ll see only the correct version since I’m correcting as I write this post.

Once I save the changes I see this. My edited subtitle file appears as English and this is one I should select to appear with my video and to download for other uses.

4. Export captions

From the Subtitles/CC option in the Edit menu, you can download the subtitles from the Actions drop-down menu

You have a choice of formats – if you take .srt you can open it with a basic wordprocessor and save as .txt.

And that’s pretty much it. Come to think of it, I’m sure this option wasn’t available when I uploaded this video back in 2011, but the captions are there now and it seems pretty straightforward to exploit them for any number of purposes, such as teaching, OER or research purposes in my own case.

Project outputs

1. Recognition framework

Creation of a progressive conceptual framework for technology-mediated teaching in higher education drawing on previous research and current practices and needs.

Output led by Limerick.

Examples:

•  http://www.allaboardhe.ie/map/
• PXL template
  • 4 levels
    • unsatisfactory
    • promising
    • good (actual criteria)
    • excellent (additional criteria) on
  • 6 dimensions
    • Instructional design
    • digital course structure/ergonomy
    • content
    • evaluation
    • technology
    • quality control

This agreed framework will identify the essential components of effective examples of teaching with technology, which will in turn an provide educators across Europe with a solid, progressive conceptual framework to engage with educational research practice.

It is envisaged that the achievement of these results will also involve the following:

• A synthesis of the literature in instructional design and pedagogical patterns (Laurillard, 2012) in teaching with technology in HE.

• Semi-structured interviews via a uniform approach of each partner in order to get insight in the way ‘successful’ HE teachers integrate technology in their practices (with attention to the process and product)

• A validation of the prototype of the framework with a representative sample of HE teachers to evaluate its effectiveness as a sharing tool that showcases teaching with technology practice and evidences the impact on students’ learning.

• Collaborative finalisation of the recognition framework.

2. E-platform

Allowing HE teachers to consult, read, watch, self-evaluate, ask questions, and collaborate to share and develop teaching practice.

Output led by PXL.

Each of the 5 project partners will work with five core members of the teaching staff at their institution, plus three colleagues new to technology-mediated practice. Each will produce a video to illustrate each teacher’s approach.

By the end of the project the platform will host

1. the recognition framework
2. 40 videos of HE teaching practice
3. e-resources drawing on project data and participants’ experiences

3: E-resources

The e-resources cover the three main dimensions of the project:

a) the innovative open teaching practices most valued by participants,

b) their views and advice on the development and delivery of such practices, and finally

c) lessons learned by project researchers regarding the creation of successful communities of practice in technology-mediated open practice at HEIs.

The e-resources include

1. Your shout: advice from HE teachers to HE teachers concerning technology-mediated innovative open practice (Nice)
2. Something to shout about: developing communities of practice to support innovation in HE pedagogy (Bordeaux)
3. Shout out: a selection of best open practices with technology

Classroom technology for young learners

Shona Whyte and Euline Cutrim Schmid

Nowadays it is probably as rare to find an English classroom without a single computer or smartphone as it is to find distance learners of English who are isolated from any authentic exchange with others. Although early work in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) compared teaching and learning with and without technology – often contrasting traditional, face-to-face teaching with learning via computer – this boundary is now blurred due to developments both in teaching and learning practices and in technologies themselves. […] For this reason, it is difficult to define the term ‘classroom technology’, and to determine which technologies and uses fit this appellation. In their recent review of ‘technology use in the classroom’, Mama and Hennessy (2013) list Powerpoint, educational software, web-based video and display of images on the interactive whiteboard (IWB) as examples of somewhat conservative use of classroom technology. In his handbook on technology for foreign language teachers, however, Blake (2013) uses the umbrella term ‘digital classroom’ to include a much wider range of tools and resources, including use of web pages, CALL programmes and applications, computer-mediated communication (CMC), distance learning, social networks and games, thus encompassing technology use both in and outside the traditional physical classroom. We shall follow this broad definition in the present chapter to focus on teachers’ and learners’ use of technology in traditional classrooms, including both equipment and devices employed in physical classroom settings, as well as CMC reaching beyond the classroom walls.
