theories related to motivation in communication skills. Speaking skills in English is becoming
more crucial in the globalization era. Most ESL students are facing problems especially in

the ESL students’ speaking skills as they will be given opportunity to practice speaking in front
of others to train in reducing their speech anxiety in speaking English. Lastly, by introducing a
public speaking programme to practice speaking English in an encouraging and comfortable
environment, students would be able to overcome their fear in speaking English and improve on
their motivation level to speak. Keywords: Public speaking, Motivation, ESL Learners, Speech

BEST PRACTICES IN USING VIDEO TECHNOLOGY TO PROMOTE SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION


BEST PRACTICES IN USING VIDEO TECHNOLOGY TO PROMOTE SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Author(s): Anastassia McNulty, Bojan Lazarevic


Subject(s): Foreign languages learning
Published by: IATEFL Poland Computer Special Interest Group and The University of Nicosia
Keywords: ESL; language acquisition; video technology; pronunciation; presentation skills

Summary/Abstract: Inclusion of technology in the process of second language acquisition has always


been a priority for both teachers and theoreticians. This paper reviews the current trends in using video-
based language instruction in K-12 educational settings. Although it has been demonstrated for many
years that the use of video as an instructional medium provides unique learning qualities, it has not
been entirely embraced by high school English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers. Furthermore,
recent advancements of digital video (low cost equipment and editing software) and Web-based video
sharing services provide remarkable possibilities for supporting a variety of learning activities in ESL
classrooms. Yet, classroom practice in using video technology has not gone too far beyond simple
viewing and listening to video content for eliciting discussion among ESL students. This paper
particularly highlights the role of video in the process of improving student pronunciation and
presentation skills. The authors described a week-long classroom video-based project conducted at a
Midwestern High School. The best examples of classroom practices and student activities were
discussed. The most prominent observations of this project were that the video-based ESL activities
contributed to the overall learning motivation and the enhancement of pronunciation skills. Finally, the
authors discuss some potential issues and instructional implications of utilizing video technology in K-12
settings.
