Library:Library Research Skills for EAL Students
Brief Introduction
The TLEF Vantage-Library Online Tutorial Project aims to benefit all students registered in UBC Vantage College and has potential benefit UBC students across faculties who attend the Academic English Support Program and also other English as an Additional Language Learner (EAL) studying at UBC.
In order to better help EAL students to efficiently use UBC Library resources, this project offers videos including five different modules, aims to guide EAL students in five different sections of their academic life. In spite of the tutorial videos, there are also knowledge test questions and exercises according to the content of each video, which aims to help students feel more engaging and offers them the opportunity to practice the knowledge they have learned from the videos. In addition, some handouts will be offered with the tutorial videos in case some students may want to download it as a guidance for their activities or future study.
After watching all these videos, students are expected to gain the basic knowledge about using UBC library resources. Before watching the tutorials, part of Vantage students will be asked to participate in a Library Resource Survey to evaluate their initial familiarity with the module content. After watching part of the videos, they would be asked to participate in a following survey to measure their possible improvements. In addition, a series of focus group interview will be conducted with UBC librarians, Vantage instructors as well as Vantage students, to evaluate the effectiveness of the whole project.
