Students’ perceptions of a student-produced video project in the general English language course at Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand
Kulsiri, Supanit1.
The research was conducted to study students’ perceptions of a student-produced video project
(SPV project) in the context of the General English Language Course at Srinakharinwirot
University in Thailand. First year students with a pre-intermediate level of English language
proficiency, who were enrolled in the General English Language course, were assigned to work
on a SPV project that required them to make a short video related to content learnt in class. There
were four main objectives of the SPV project which were: (1) to provide an environment that
allows students to grasp a deeper understanding of the topic learnt in class; (2) to enhance English
language proficiency as well as creativity and problem-solving skills; (3) to promote the use of
Information and communication technology (ICT) in language teaching and learning and (4) to
provide a collaborative working environment among students. There were 450 students who
participated in this project. A questionnaire on the perceptions of the SPV project was administered
to 107 students. It covered three aspects (1) the improvement of students’ English language
proficiency and life skills, (2) the use of technological tools and (3) collaboration among peers.
Questionnaires results were statistically analyzed and reported in descriptive statistics. Findings
indicated that students had positive perceptions toward the SPV projects in all three aspects. The
aspect that received the highest mean value was that of collaboration among peers. This paper
advocates the use of SPV projects as feasible and adaptable language projects suitable for the
language learning in the 21st century.
