Making video for language learning and teaching

This practical workshop will introduce language teaching professionals to the skills involved in making short video films to support teaching and learning. It will explore how to develop an idea into a film that can be exploited effectively in the classroom or in a self-access context. It will draw on the trainers’ experience of making such films for the Higher Education sector. They are joint authors of the video-based course, Access UK, winner of the English Speaking Union President’s Award 2012.

Rather than attempt a full technical briefing, the workshop will help participants identify equipment appropriate to different purposes and skills they can draw on from technical colleagues in their own institutions. During the day, small groups will collaborate on conceiving and shooting a short film with the assistance of the trainers.

As this a “hands-on” workshop, the number of participants will be limited to fifteen, thus allowing plenty of individual support.
