This small-scale, longitudinal study tested for the influence of video recording with a camcorder, and recording and self-viewing with an iPad. The study tested for changes in confidence, anxiety and foreign language (FL) willingness to communicate (WTC; McCroskey & Baer, 1985) using self-report measures before and after the intervention (N = 91 & 71, respectively). For the second administration, a second instrument was administered which asked about the influence of the camcorder/iPad intervention on confidence, anxiety, and WTC. The class that received the iPad intervention shows statistically significant increases in confidence and WTC, and a statistically significant decrease in anxiety. Furthermore,the WarpPLS structural equation modeling (SEM) software results show that the iPad use had a strong positive influence on confidence and WTC and may also have lowered the level of anxiety of the students video-recorded directly (n = 9) with the iPad. The results indicate that video recording and self-viewing in the classroom with an iPad may promote confidence and WTC, and lower anxiety.
