Dear fellow students
With this research essay I have tried to develop a class course where we focus on verbal communication, genuine tasks with real-life relevance, modern technology, and digital tools, using Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory about learning being a social process and his theory on the zone for proximal development as guidelines for learner development. To motivate the learners for the task at hand, I chose a subject which was at peak interest at the time: our class trip to Bornholm. To further encourage and challenge the learners to use and develop their oral skills I chose the YouTube-video as the main communication channel and final product, with a parents-day viewing as the deadline and motivational factor for the final product.
Research question: How might I scaffold my pupils in creating a Video log (Vlog) in English about their class trip to Bornholm?
