Název v původním jazyce

Reading Classic Novels Might be Supported by Wiki-Based Collaborative Activities

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study reports on an experimental learning activity carried out at a higher secondary school in Prague, which tried to show students that reading, writing and collaboration might be interesting, useful and self-rewarding. In particular, the study focuses on learning outcomes and overall experience concerning the development of collaborative skills and reading and writing skills through the use of a wiki. Although the main objective of this activity was to enhance reading of English classic novels, an inevitable part of it was to implement wiki tools into the learning process. Moreover, the experimental learning activity was designed to show the extent of students' efforts at collaboration while reading activities set on a wiki. To support the idea, that wiki-based activities might stimulate students' learning skills, the study includes the outcomes and findings from English language and CLIL Social Science class wikis. Reflecting the teacher's subjective feedback, the analyses of class wikis, plus post-reading questionnaires, as well as the focus-group discussions, show that wiki-based while reading activities might not only motivate students to read, write and collaborate, but also improve their reading and writing skills.
