Abstract

What do learning by doing, information and communications technology in the classroom, and self-evaluation have in common? This paper presents not only a theoretical background but also a practical case. is article presents how pupils of the 8th grade of primary school learned a conversation in a restaurant in German. They used an iPad and the applications that it offers to achieve their goal - speaking fluently and reacting correctly when they order and pay food and drinks in a restaurant. Since they had been learning German for five years, they were able to reinforce the words related to food with interactive exercises by themselves. Then they watched a video in German titled 'In a restaurant', translated phrases with the online dictionary, learned phrases and words, and filmed their conversations with iPads. Then they evaluated their conversations based on various criteria using iPads again.
