Growth Mindset, CALL, and Students as Partners--Does It Work in a Primary School Context?
Ward, Monica
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2022 Conference (30th, Reykjavik, Iceland, Aug 17-19, 2022)
This paper explores the use of a Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), growth mindset infused, student partnership approach to language learning in a primary school context. Early success is important in language learning. Students may doubt their ability to learn a language, especially if they have had a non-positive experience of learning a language. This research study looks at a research intervention for learning Spanish in an Irish primary school. A combination of in-class and CALL resources were used to teach Spanish in six sessions to 120 students from six different classes (10-12 years of age), all of whom were beginners. Most had learnt Irish since four or five years of age and had no previous exposure to CALL, growth mindset, or a student partnership. There were several logistical hiccups along the way, including a low response rate to the end of intervention survey (via questionnaire). However, the overall indications are that the students enjoyed the approach and that it could be used in other contexts.
