Abstract

Digital video is a promising technology that can be utilized in schools to support, expand, or transform teaching methods and curriculum results. Particularly, it has the potential to apply student-generated digital videos to improve students' learning practices and outcomes. The aim of this study is to explore students’ perceptions of the application of student-generated videos in Project-based learning (PBL). With the qualitative method approach, the instrument of semi-structured interviews and students’ reflections were employed as the primary method of data collection. The participants were sophomores majoring in English linguistics and English pedagogy at Saigon University. Despite some limitations, the results indicate that the project of making student-generated digital videos yields some positive benefits for the students in developing their creativity and social skills.
