Screencastify Submit for Lower Level ESOL Learners: Three Clicks to Student Expression
Sadownick, Jamey
COABE Journal: The Resource for Adult Education, v10 n2 Article 5 p54-58 Fall 2021
Adult English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) students at all levels struggle with having the confidence to communicate in the classroom. This can have a greater impact on students with lower English language proficiency. In the landscape of remote learning, a lack of digital literacy skills can create even more barriers. Briya Public Charter School has identified a technology tool and a scaffolded process that facilitates learner persistence, creativity, motivation, perseverance, and confidence for lower level ESOL learners. Screencastify Submit allows teachers to easily create video assignments and demystifies the process of recording a video for students. The simplicity of the tool, combined with the opportunities it provides for student output and feedback, has helped students to flourish in remote learning. It allows students to express themselves in new ways using English and embeds a deep sense of pride in their work. Briya plans to continue utilizing Screencastify Submit as it transitions to a hybrid model for the upcoming school year.
