Making the Most of Video in the Foreign Language Classroom
Workshop Leader: Dr. Eve Zyzik
Workshop Dates: July 10-12, 2008
Workshop Times: Exact times TBA, but approximately 9:00 - 4:00 each day

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:

• Listening comprehension processes
• Choosing appropriate video materials (authentic versus scripted video materials)
• Sequencing a lesson with video (pre-viewing, during viewing, post-viewing)
• Top-down and bottom-up activities for each stage of working with video
• Video without sound
• Video to teach grammar
• Video to promote output
• Video to teach culture
• DVD with subtitles and captions
