Flashcards as a Microlearning Tool in English Language Teaching

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper deals with the use of a mobile application based on the principle of flashcards to support the teaching of English to primary school pupils. Using such an application while doing homework is a prerequisite for expand-ing pupils' vocabulary, improving pronunciation and storing words in longterm memory. The reason for using the mobile application is to make English language teaching more attractive, since in the Czech Republic there is a declining trend in the level of English language acquisition. Based on further described criteria, a mobile application working on the principles of flash-cards was selected. The application was available to a group of pupils to fa-cilitate their home preparation for their English lessons. The pupils' acquired knowledge was then tested and also their work with the application was mon-itored. Simultaneously, a feedback through a questionnaire survey was ob-tained from the pupils using this application. Besides the effect of flashcards on the level of vocabulary in the English language of a selected target group, the paper also deals with the potential use of flashcards as one of the possi-ble tools of microlearning.
