A PROJECT-BASED ONLINE COLLABORATIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING MODEL: A CASE STUDY OF PODCAST CREATION BY CROSS-UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Downloads
The digitalization of higher education necessitates innovative pedagogical models that promote authentic language use and foster 21st-century skills. While online learning offers flexibility, creating engaging, collaborative environments that bridge institutional boundaries remains a significant challenge. This study aims to describe the implementation of a project-based online collaborative language learning model and to analyze students' collaborative dynamics and learning outcomes during a cross-university podcast creation project. Employing a qualitative case study design, this research involved 20 undergraduate students from two distinct universities. Data were gathered via virtual observations, semi-structured interviews, and artifact analysis of the final podcasts and reflective journals. Findings reveal the model effectively facilitated dynamic collaboration, leading to significant development not only in linguistic competencies, such as speaking fluency and vocabulary, but also in digital literacy, negotiation, and teamwork. The cross-university nature of the project enhanced intercultural communication, despite initial logistical challenges. The study concludes that the project-based online collaborative learning model, specifically through podcast creation, serves as a viable and effective framework for enhancing language acquisition and collaborative skills in a virtual, cross-institutional setting.
