One goal of the language program at the Preparation Center for Languages and Mathematics at Mahidol University International College is for students to be able to discuss an academic topic in a small group. To interact successfully in this context, a student must be able to offer points of view, agree or disagree with other points of view, ask for clarification, switch topics, etc. In this pilot study, which involved a total of 40 students enrolled in language courses in the Preparation Center for Languages and Mathematics at Mahidol University International College, the researchers used a video editing program to illustrate these elements of discussion using videos of students’ own group discussions. The students were then instructed to use the editor to annotate subsequent discussion videos with the same elements. In this way, the researchers were able to encourage students to engage more deeply in self-assessment and peer assessment.
