LipDub: A Technology-Enhanced Language Learning Project with Music
Mericka, Kirsten
Research-publishing.net
This chapter presents a technology-enhanced language learning project that was undertaken with advanced first-year university students of German. The students created a LipDub video, which is a music video that combines lip-synching and audio dubbing and can be filmed on any recording device with a camera. To participate in this group project, the students had to use technology and work collaboratively outside of the classroom. The project also involved language learning since the students had to work on their pronunciation and listening comprehension. The videos were, thereafter, incorporated into a formal language lesson in the university's multi-media centre, where the students completed various language tasks with the videos. The videos differed from standard LipDub videos, but the students' overall feedback, based on written reports, the module evaluation questionnaire, and oral responses, was overwhelmingly positive for both the project and the lesson.
