Worthwhile, Exciting Class Projects: Video Exchanges

Sunday, June 10th, 2001, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Joyce Cunningham, Ibaraki University

A video project designed to heighten students' cultural awareness and provide opportunities for English practice is demonstrated. Student-generated, group-produced videos encourage learners to explore cultural aspects as they exchange videos with an audience outside Japan. Tasks and techniques include reading, observation, and discussion of Japanese culture. Students learn how to prepare and film by brainstorming, storyboards, rehearsals, group progress reports, etc. A useful assessment device is also described.
