The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of a hybrid apprenticeship model in the context of university level English education in Japan. The focus is on freshman perceptions and attitudes toward their English learning. For this study, seniors were asked to create brief videos in English sharing study strategies, helpful student life tips, and advice regarding study abroad programs. The study examined (1) the improvement of the freshmen's smartphone video assignments before and after they viewed the seniors' videos discussed above, and (2) pre- and post-questionnaires with four Likert-scale items and one open question. These results show that the apprenticeship videos can not only serve as modeling but also foster scaffolding outside of the classroom. [For the complete volume of short papers, see ED572005.]
