| Title | Summer Workshop: Making the Most of Video in the Foreign Language Classroom |
| Body | From http://clear.msu.edu/clear/professionaldev/summerworkshops.php Making the Most of Video in the Foreign Language Classroom Jul 30th, 2007 (Mon) -- Aug 1st, 2007 (Wed) Michigan State University Teachers and researchers agree that video materials can enhance the learning environment in foreign language classrooms by providing rich, contextualized input. The combination of aural and visual cues naturally makes video input more comprehensible. However, there are several uses of video that extend beyond listening comprehension activities. For example, video can be effectively used to teach grammar and in promoting output (both oral and written). This workshop will consider multiple uses of video as well as techniques for adapting authentic materials to learners of various proficiency levels. The workshop will address the following topics: choosing appropriate video materials (authentic versus scripted video materials and appropriate uses of each; sequencing a lesson with video (pre-viewing, during viewing, post-viewing); top-down and bottom-up activities for each stage of working with video; creating selective listening activities for video segments; uses of video without sound ; using video to teach grammar; using video to promote output; using video to teach cultural topics; combining video and reading materials; and using DVD with subtitles.
