ABSTRACT

Flipgrid as an asynchronous video-mediated online discussion platform has offered a space for teachers and students to interact and show their thinking in remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. While Flipgrid discussions can afford educators the chance to build on students’ creative language use, the choices teachers make when designing the discussions can also perpetuate standard language ideologies and purist language norms. This study presents a critical analysis of free and available teaching materials designed to support the use of Flipgrid, highlighting examples that foster or constrain student language choice and body positioning according to socially constructed norms for “Flipgrid netiquette.”

摘要

Flipgrid 作为一个以视频为媒介的异步在线讨论平台，在 COVID-19 大流行期间为教师和学生提供了一个互动和展示他们在远程学习中的想法的空间。虽然 Flipgrid 讨论可以让教育工作者有机会利用学生的创造性语言使用，但教师在设计讨论时所做的选择也可以使标准的语言意识形态和纯粹的语言规范永久化。本研究对旨在支持使用 Flipgrid 的免费和可用教材进行了批判性分析，重点介绍了根据社会构建的“Flipgrid 网络礼仪”规范促进或限制学生语言选择和身体姿势的示例。
