Thu, Aug 10, 14:30-15:50 Asia/Makassar
In this workshop, the presenters introduce Mini-Bibliobattle, a simplified variation of Bibliobattle. Bibliobattle refers to a social book presentation game where presenters introduce their favorite book for five minutes, followed by a three-minute Q&A session, and votes select the Champion Book from participants. This game has been spreading in Japan since it was developed in 2007, and teachers started using it in a language classroom. We will demonstrate the game at the site and provide some tips to instruct in combination with extensive reading. Students' perceptions of the game from our practices will also be provided.
College and University Mini-Bibliobattle in online extensive reading course: Tips for winning Champion Book more
Tue, Aug 8, 14:00-15:20 Asia/Makassar
Bibliobattle, a social book presentation game where battlers introduce their favorite book and decide the Champion Book by votes, has been spreading around Japan since it was invented in 2007. Although researchers and instructors have used its simplified variation, Mini-Bibliobattle, for second-language learners inside or outside a classroom, it is still unclear what books were chosen among winners and how they prepared for the presentation. Thus, this study investigated the champion books and their presenters through a questionnaire and interviews. It was found that the winners selected books with strong messages and clear storylines. Also, they elaborated their presentation by editing the composition and incorporating engaging tips such as asking questions. Tips for instructing Mini-Bibliobattle will be suggested at the conference.
