Abstract

Using Flipgrid as a common platform, 30 students of elementary Spanish as a foreign language at Oxford College of Emory University (in the United States) undertook a virtual language exchange project together with 17 students of intermediate English as a foreign language from CETT Barcelona School of Tourism, Hospitality and Gastronomy (affiliated with the University of Barcelona, in Spain). In order to carry out the four tasks included in the project, students from both institutions recorded and shared videos in the target language. They were also asked to post feedback videos in their first language. To study the nature of peer feedback provided to learners of Spanish and English as a foreign language, a sample of comments from Spanish and American students was examined and contrasted. Content analysis and categorization were conducted based on a taxonomy which comprised six categories, namely textual aspects, language register, grammar and vocabulary aspects, phonetic aspects, fluency, and paralinguistic aspects. Textual aspects encompassed topic development and structure, speech content and length, and clarity. Language use was analyzed from a global perspective and also in terms of specific inaccuracies mentioned in the videos. On balance, the result can be considered very satisfactory, since students made positive comments and recommendations, and encouraged their peers to continue developing their communicative competence. The specific areas of improvement pointed out in their videos can be seen as indicators for instructors when focusing on learners’ strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, this presentation illustrates the usefulness of Flipgrid in peer feedback provision to enhance foreign language acquisition in higher education.

Abstract

Hobbies are considered important to be one of ways to help English Learners learn English independently. Many English learners do not understand yet things they can explore from their hobbies to help them learn English. Through this study the researcher attempts to explore English learners’ activities when they do their hobbies and to find ideas from them about which part of those activities, they think can help them learn English. The findings show that some English learners taken from respondents can share quite well about activities from their hobbies that can help them learn English, but still many English learners from respondents do not really understand about the relationship of their hobbies with the process of learning English. This condition can be caused by some reasons and as Nezif (2015) says, “It is obvious that there are many challenges in implementing independent learning. The challenges are lack of using authentic materials, a teacher centered approach, lack of learning goals, lack of confidence, high dependence on teachers, lack of practice in self-assessment and peer assessment and lack of interest and lack of learning strategies.” The researcher agrees with Nezif that the challenges are real and by having this study, the researcher tries to figure out what can be planned better for the future to help English learners learn English through their hobbies.
