Use of Video in Teaching Croatian as a Second Langauge

Video kao medij pronalazi sve veću uporabu u obrazovanju, kako u klasičnoj nastavi u učionici, tako i u e-obrazovanju. Postavljajući tezu da se najbolje nauči ono što se iskustvom doživi i prepuštajući polazniku središnje mjesto u nastavi, cilj je ovoga rada propitati mogućnosti koje video nudi nastavi stranih jezika, prije svega nastavi inojezičnoga hrvatskog koji se poučava u Hrvatskoj. Rad slijedi glavne postavke empirista i konstruktivizma. Analizira se priroda nastave stranih jezika i ciljna skupina kojoj je nastava namijenjena. Određuju se, prema Bloomovoj taksonomiji, ishodi nastave koji utječu na odabir određenoga medija i tehnologije. U radu se daju četiri primjera moguće primjene videa u nastavi, nakon čega se ističu dobre i loše strane korištenja ovoga medija. Svrha je rada doprinos zalaganju za uporabu novih tehnologija koje zahtijevaju novu paradigmu nastave u kojoj će se promijeniti uloga svih triju čimbenika obrazovnoga procesa: nastavnika, učenika i obrazovnih materijala.Video is finding an increasing use as a medium in education, classroom teaching as well as in e-learning. The thesis of this paper is based on the assumption that the best way of acquiring knowledge is learning by doing and giving a student the main role in teaching. Therefore, this paper examines the possibilities that video offers in teaching foreign languages, especially in teaching Croatian as a second and foreign language (L2) in Croatia. Drawing on theories of empiricism and constructivism, foreign language teaching and target groups are analysed. Teaching outcomes that influence the choice of media and technology are determined by Bloom’s taxonomy. Four possible uses of video in a foreign language teaching are presented, after which positive and negative elements of using this medium are pointed out. This paper contributes to promotion of new technologies which call for a new paradigm in teaching in which the roles of all three actors in teaching process – teacher, student and teaching materials - will be changed
