The use of video recordings of microteaching in Czech language didactics lessons

Original language description

Didactics of Czech as a mother tongue is a hands-on discipline with a direct relationship to actual practice as it explores real-life issues of language teaching and provides trainee teachers with inspiration and input relating to not only organization and planning of teaching sessions but also to methods, organizational forms and other aspects of the teaching process. Although it incorporates trainee teachers’ classroom observation and teaching practice at partnership schools, the range of opportunities for practising teaching remains limited – from the viewpoints of both trainee teachers and didactics specialists. Video recordings of microteaching sessions in seminars on didactics of Czech as a mother tongue thus play an important role in the self-reflection of trainee teachers. This paper presents the author’s experience with the use of such recordings in seminars. It highlights the importance of an appropriate choice of the teaching situation, and proper preparation of trainee teachers for their microteaching sessions. The microeducation analysis reveals the merits and drawbacks of trainee teachers’ microteaching sessions from the perspective of pedagogical content knowledge, and directs their attention to their strengths and weaknesses in both verbal and non-verbal communication. By examining the video recordings, trainee teachers can identify – more readily than in didactics textbooks – any instances where the didactic principle of linguistic approach has been breached. The author believes that involvement of trainee teachers is very important, both in assessing the quality of the microteaching sessions of their colleagues and in proposing and substantiating alterations to the teaching situation. Based on a review of questionnaires completed by the trainee teachers at the end of their semester, the author outlines strong and weak points of the use of video recordings in seminars.
