In this task an experienced generalist primary school teacher collaborated with a doctoral student working on technology-mediated classroom interaction in a task-based language teaching environment. The objective was to investigate the language learning opportunities afforded by a story retell task leading to the creation of an ebook on tablets.
The task sequence began with the story “The wolf who wanted to change his colour” (Orianne Lallemand and Éléonore Thuillier). Learners created a storyboard to be scanned with an iPad. Using the app Book Creator, they used the audio recording functionality to add a soundtrack where they recounted their story. The final ebooks were shared with a partner class in Germany.
The final outcome, the ebook, constituted a reason to memorise vocabulary and rehearse a fixed language structure, and provided multiple opportunities for learners to practice and receive individual form-focused feedback.
