Abstract | This pilot study utilizes 360° camera and viewer technology in a science content-based EFL class at a Japanese University. Due to a lack of initial knowledge on how to best incorporate this technology into a content driven EFL class, a co-development strategy was devised between the teacher and students to dynamically design a course over 16-weeks. The course is then evaluated in terms of the resulting co-conceived activities and assessment and their role in developing student understanding. In addition, an appraisal of student created 360° science videos as a final group project not only sheds light on the efficacy of the formative activities implemented, but also identifies that whilst the 360° project was able to create a forum to tie English to the students' broader science studies, and facilitate a high level of language use, the linguistic benefits that are explicitly unique to the technology are somewhat limited. Implications suggest how to improve upon the learning activities implemented, as well as an appraisal of the efficacy of using 360° technology to help EFL students explain science concepts as a reference for other educators considering using the technology in an EFL setting.
