THE USE OF THE PROF ED TEACHER VIDEO TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ COMPREHENSION IN LANGUAGE CURRICULUM DESIGN COURSE

Abstract

The goal of teacher education programs is to provide future educators with the information and abilities needed to design efficient language teaching materials and procedures. Language curriculum design is a crucial component of these programs. In order to increase students' comprehension in a course on developing language curriculum, this study explores the use of professional education (prof ed) teacher videos as a pedagogical tool. The study investigates how authentic teaching situations that have been recorded on video can affect how well students comprehend and apply the ideas of curriculum design. The data from the qualitative analysis of the interview were used to identify recurrent themes and patterns in the students' comprehension. Interviews were conducted with seven fifth-semester English department students who had taken the language curriculum design course. According to the findings, using professional development teacher videos dramatically improves students' understanding of difficult ideas in curriculum design. The videos provide practical demonstrations of language teaching, demonstrating various pedagogical approaches, classroom management practices, and adaptability to learner needs. Prof ed teacher videos are effectively used as teaching aids in courses on language curriculum design. These videos give students a more enriching learning experience by assisting them in understanding curriculum design ideas more deeply and prepare them for the difficulties of in-person language instruction
