E-performance observation in teaching foreign languages

Teachers constantly try to increase students ́ interest and their motivation to learn effectively to fulfil high requirements of national as well as international labour market. They look for innovative ways and possibilities of how to use the findings of technological progress in their teaching process to achieve educational goals. One of the latest methods is observation of students ́ learning performance carried out in electronic courses (so called e-performance observation) which significantly differs from a traditional observation realized in face-to-face contact teaching. We applied it in teaching English to higher education students. The results obtained from conducted action research confirm our assumption that the use of e-performance observation provides teachers with a faster collecting and storing of relevant data and accurate recording of learning outcomes.
