Interactive flipbook extensive reading- from peers to peers

Tue, Aug 8, 15:00-16:20 Asia/Tokyo

Location: Foyer

Implementing extensive reading can be a challenge for both teachers and students. Teachers realise students are reluctant to read and discuss the story while students procrastinate and are not motivated to read. One solution is to encourage students to create a narrative and convert it into a flipbook for their peers to read. A flipbook offers a page-turning user experience and can be read in a linear fashion. Students work together in small groups on tasks as in script writers, illustrators, design-idea contributors, flipbook converter and promoters. Free digital technology applications such as Canva, Google form and E-certificate are incorporated by using flipbook applications. The project by a group of 15 students who are 17 years-old, produced flipbooks. Data on motivation to read, interest in themes and specific language competency was compiled through observations by the teacher and students completing a short questionnaire. The results highlight insights for teachers and publishers on ER materials. Moreover, the flipbook project integrated various skills and incorporated technological tools in an interactive, meaningful, and exciting extensive reading experience. It also enhanced a student-centred pedagogical approach facilitated by a teacher.
