3.5.2.2. Piloting the Worksheets at the University in the Author’s Own Classes (Study 5)

After each worksheet was created, it was brought into my Language Practice classes at the two universities to be tried with students and modified according to their feedback and activity level. To keep track of what modifications needed to be made, I kept a research journal and wrote about what made the lessons successful, and what needed to be changed to make the lessons more engaging. The official piloting of the worksheets was carried out in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years. Table 3.15 in Section 4.5.1.1 shows which worksheet was used when and with which group. While it was still possible, and the lessons took place face to face at the universities, the students were asked to write down what they enjoyed about the classes on a piece of paper. From the moment the online feedback sheet was created in 2020 spring, the students were asked to use that feedback sheet and give feedback online, even if the classes took place face to face. The feedback sheet was created using Google Forms, and it took approximately five minutes to fill it in. The students were asked to mark on a Likert scale to what extent the activities developed their language skills and their 21st century skills, and to what extent they enjoyed the lessons. Finally, they were asked to write about whether they thought the activities were useful and whether they think they learned something about the world by doing the activities.

After the first year of the pilot, some modifications were made in connection with the worksheets. The order of some activities was switched to make the lessons more engaging; some extra activities were added, some were deleted, and to help teachers using the worksheets during the pandemic situation, some online tips were added to make the worksheets remote teaching compatible (see in Appendix J.1). After the worksheets were finalized, I created teacher guides to accompany each worksheet, containing the level and aim of the activities, detailed instructions, the solutions, and variations to the activities (see in Appendix J.2). The finalized worksheets and teacher guides were uploaded to a Google Drive folder and to my own webpage (Divéki, n.d.) with the aim of making the worksheets easy to use in class and always available for all the participants.
