MAKING VIDEOS
Prepare the script. You can use your own ideas and/or reference book materials.
- Compile materials for the video using magazine pictures, advertisements, family pictures, books, cards, CDs (for soundtrack use), any other appropriate materials.
- The actual production of the video is not very difficult, unless no one in your school has any idea how to work the machines. In that case, perhaps the best thing to do is to encourage the teachers to have a representative of the company who made the machines come to the school and explain them. Emphasise that videos can be a very effective language teaching tool and can make the classes more interesting.
- Film the materials first in the order that they appear in the script. Then tape the script as you watch the previously taped materials. There is usually one teacher who handles the video equipment, and you can edit the soundtrack together and add any additional music, titles, etc.
By making listening comprehension checks, you can use the video in the classroom.
