English Language Learner Pedagogical Performance and Experience Through Digital Video Production

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a shift from the physical classrooms to online learning environments. While this shift has been perceived as beneficial in many ways, the absence of physical interactions within online learning platforms poses challenges for English language learners to practice their English communications skills. Nonetheless, the development of computer technologies presents new opportunities for English language education. On the basis that digital video production supporting knowledge building can enhance learners' English communication skills, the present research reports an innovative educational approach through the digital video production task for learners to enhance their English language skills in an online class environment. Analyses of data based on an assessment of learners' pedagogical performances and a thematic analysis based on reflective journals were presented and discussed in this chapter that contribute to the literature by demonstrating how English learners improved their English language skills through digital video production tasks.
