A glimpse into the digital transformation of the teaching methodology of Hungarian as a foreign language: didacticized videos in model-based teaching

Abstract

With online language teaching becoming widespread, we are also faced with a shift in teaching methods. Digital education requires novel teaching techniques, presupposing at least basic but preferably optimal digital competencies, and it requires adjusted teaching and learning strategies. This study identifies differences and similarities between face-to-face and online learning and teaching contexts. It draws attention to the fact that the purpose of language teaching remains unchanged, while it also discusses how preparation before language lessons becomes even more significant together with student–teacher cooperation. There is much more happening than the mere transformation of the educational forum. By examining online teaching methods, the paper discusses how the use of educational video corpora like that of MagyarOK gains new emphasis in the language teaching process.
