Introduction
My presentation is about using ICT in ELT and more precisely about using videos in EFL context. Let's start with a theoretical background to put this presentation in context.
Theoretical background
Every teacher has his/her own way of teaching a foreign language according to how he/she views language systems and therefore foreign language learning. In other words, he/she sets his/her own objectives according to the theory of language and the theory of learning he/she adopts.
Views of language and language learning have undergone a tremendous change over the last decades. First, language has been seen as structural systems then as notional/topical then as functional, transactional, and recently as an interactional system.
So, Language is no longer seen as a set of structural rules. It is rather viewed as a tool of interaction and communication. This shift in language views has resulted in change in how language learning is viewed, which gives birth to the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT).
CLT has emerged as a reaction to other methods that are far away from empowering students with skills that enable them to communicate using the language studied. According to CLT, language is a system for expressing meaning. It is primary function is establishing interaction and communication. Therefore, foreign language teaching consists of bringing to FL classrooms activities that involve real communication and that aims at teaching meaningful language to FL learners, which gives rise to learner-centered learning. Accordingly , learning should be personalized regarding learners’ needs, learning styles and characteristics. Additionally, teachers are no longer viewed as the solo holders of information as learners are perceived as contributors to the learning process.
I will not spend much more time elaborating on this theoretical side as the main focus of this presentation is to provide an example of how these notions are brought into practice i.e. are implemented in the classroom.
Accordingly, this presentation aims at presenting an example of a lesson delivered to my Turkish pupils in Turkey.
As I said earlier, each teacher sets his/her own objectives according to the theory of language/theory of language learning he/she adopts. However, the teacher's objective can differ from the curriculum developers' objectives, which was my case while teaching my Turkish eight grade students.

This document discusses using content and cognition in English language teaching. It argues that English is now a core skill used to accomplish other tasks. The focus should be on bringing real meaning and purpose to English learning by linking it to skills needed in the 21st century. This implies backward design of syllabi based on what students need to know and do. Various techniques are discussed to integrate content, language, communication and culture, including task-based learning. Cognition plays an important role in learning, and scaffolding techniques can break tasks into manageable parts to help students cope with challenges. Using authentic materials and examples can help tap prior knowledge and build skills towards accomplishing communicative goals.
This document describes using a podcast channel to enhance a university module called Innovative Multimedia. The podcast allowed students to connect with real world expertise, reflect on their own and peers' work, and receive feedback. It included audio summaries, revision notes, student podcasts, feedback, and contributions from tutors, peers, experts, and the public. The podcast was a flexible learning tool that extended learning across space and time, complemented classroom activities, and highlighted key points. It demonstrated that audio enhancement can structure learning or opportunistically respond to events, and it is an easy way to capture ideas and conversations.
Using authentic materials in teaching second.foreign language vocabularyMaryam_Banten
This document outlines a study investigating the effects of using authentic materials in teaching English vocabulary. The study had two hypotheses: that authentic materials would help improve vocabulary learning and increase student motivation. Tests were administered before and after lessons using authentic materials from magazines, newspapers, movies and songs. Results showed students' vocabulary scores increased more after lessons with authentic materials than before. A motivation scale also found most students were highly motivated by the authentic materials. The conclusion was that authentic materials positively enhance vocabulary learning and increase student motivation. Recommendations included using authentic materials as supplements and integrating them with technology while considering cultural appropriateness.
Using and Adapting Authentic Materials to Help Motivate StudentsRichard Pinner
This document outlines a workshop on using authentic materials to motivate students. The workshop covers defining authenticity, methodological approaches, and resources. It examines selecting authentic texts and tasks to expose students to other cultures while developing language skills. Participants will adapt materials and design their own tasks. The document discusses what makes materials and language use authentic, considering perspectives from various English-speaking regions. It emphasizes selecting materials appropriate for learners and scaffolding activities to aid comprehension and engagement.
This document proposes using media and technology in the ESL/EFL classroom at Binus International. It argues that incorporating media provides avenues for learning, helps the learning process, boosts student interest, and allows for innovative teaching using a wide variety of resources. Specific proposals include using Moodle for uploading assignments, discussion forums, and podcasts; introducing listening activities and student-created podcasts; and employing wikis to enable collaborative writing and peer feedback. The goal is to move away from traditional methods and introduce more student-friendly and engaging study materials.
This document discusses audio-visual materials for teaching English as a second language. It defines audio-visual aids as educational materials that present information through sight and sound rather than exclusively through reading. Some examples of audio-visual tools mentioned are films, film strips, overhead projectors, and opaque projectors. The document outlines guidelines for effective audio-visual preparation, such as ensuring visuals highlight key points and aid understanding rather than simply repeating information. Tips include choosing the right equipment and ensuring the presenter remains the main focus while demonstrating visual aids.
This document discusses authentic materials and how to use them effectively in the classroom. It defines authentic materials as those used in real life contexts. When selecting materials, teachers should choose items that are motivating, memorable, and at an appropriate level for students. The materials should also be organized in some way and selected based on language and content. Teachers may need to adapt materials by modifying or adding information to make them more understandable. The document provides tips for using authentic materials, such as choosing recent, durable copies and including accompanying questions or exercises.
Open educational practices in language education: resources, tools, and trainingShona Whyte
Shona Whyte presented on open educational practices in language education. She discussed resources like open educational materials and curated collections. She provided an example of using technology for task-based language teaching with a moth story task. She also discussed tools like Google Apps, Padlet, and SoundCloud. Challenges in openness for teacher education were highlighted. Training involves personal learning networks, telecollaborative projects, and developing techno-pedagogical competences through open practices.

This presentation is about some activities that I tried in my classrooms and that provd to be a success. They met the main aims of the lesson which were involving learners, motivating them to take in the information presented, and leading them to use what they learned.
This document summarizes presentations from an interactive teaching workshop. It discusses two projects called iTILT that explored using technology for language teaching. The first project focused on using interactive whiteboards and developing teaching materials for them. The second project examined using mobile technologies, video exchanges between students, and videoconferencing for interactive language teaching based on task-based learning. Examples of lessons using these technologies were provided and criteria for designing materials for interactive teaching were discussed. The document emphasizes how the projects explored shifting from a focus on technologies themselves to their integration into pedagogical approaches like task-based language teaching.

This document discusses remix culture and its implications for student voice in digital multimodal compositions. It defines remix as combining existing materials to create something new. While remix allows creative appropriation, it also risks students copying content without transforming it. The document examines student projects in an English for science course involving digital videos. It finds that effective remix uses resources in hybrid, layered, and intercultural ways to construct new meanings consistent with students' messages. However, remix may compromise student voice if it lacks original sourcing, hybridity, or creative labor. Educators must guide how students leverage remix to promote, not limit, their voices.
The document discusses English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and general English programs (EGP). It notes that ESP focuses on teaching language skills specific to a career or purpose, while EGP focuses more broadly on education with unpredictable future needs. An ESP program is built based on an assessment of learner purposes and language functions. The document then outlines a needs analysis conducted for designing an ESP course for elementary school teachers to improve their English skills, particularly speaking ability, grammar, and vocabulary. Questionnaire results found teachers wanted to learn for job demands and promotion. A 10-week course was designed addressing writing, speaking, reading and listening skills through various activities.
This proposal outlines a one-day film-making workshop for GCSE Media Studies students to encourage creativity. It notes creativity is important for education and the economy. The workshop aims to allow students time and freedom to work creatively in a structured process. Students would do two film-making tasks of increasing independence and reflect on their creative process. The proposal discusses research supporting how creativity develops best and benefits students. It argues the workshop could improve students' skills, learning, self-esteem and motivation if implemented and shared more widely.

CTD Fa14 Weekly Workshop: Alternatives to lecturePeter Newbury
The document discusses alternatives to traditional lecture-based teaching. It suggests using more student-centered, active learning strategies like peer instruction with clickers, interactive demonstrations where students make predictions, surveys to generate data, and discussions. These approaches engage students by drawing out their pre-existing knowledge and allowing them to practice like experts. Videos and demonstrations should be accompanied by activities to help students analyze and discuss key events.

This presentation offers two case studies focused on the use and re-use of OER by staff and students at The University of Nottingham. The first provides evidence of re-use by an academic from the School of Geography. The case study includes survey results showing that OER can save time with no compromise on quality. The second case study shows how students at Nottingham’s campus in China have been using open resources to support their studies, to learn how to evaluate academic resources and to support them on their journey to becoming global citizens.
This 2-4 week kindergarten science unit teaches students about the life cycle of butterflies. Students will raise caterpillars in class and observe their metamorphosis. They will create a digital book demonstrating each stage of the butterfly's life cycle using images and text. Working in groups, students will add their sections to the book and present their findings to the class. The goals are for students to understand what butterflies need to survive and be able to present their knowledge using technology skills like adding images and text to a digital book.
CTD Spring 2015 Weekly Workshop: Active LearningPeter Newbury
Active learning is an instructional method that engages students in the learning process through activities and discussions in the classroom rather than passively listening to a lecture. It emphasizes higher-order thinking and often involves group work. Research shows that active learning techniques increase student performance on exams by about half a letter grade on average and decrease failure rates compared to traditional lecturing alone. Effective active learning strategies include peer instruction, interactive demonstrations, discussions, and predicting outcomes before viewing videos or demonstrations.
Cognitivism is a learning theory that focuses on internal mental processes like memory, problem-solving, and thinking. It views learning as information processing in the mind, similar to a computer. Key people in cognitivism include Benjamin Bloom, who created Bloom's Taxonomy of learning objectives, and Robert Gagne, who identified different types of learning. In the classroom, cognitivism uses visual aids, demonstrations, and feedback to encourage critical thinking skills.

It begins by outlining how digital tools have changed communication and the skills needed for language learning. DMC is then defined as going beyond traditional writing to include other modes made possible by digital media, like videos and infographics. The benefits of DMC are that it meets real-world communication needs, engages students, and increases autonomy. However, some argue it could distract from language learning. A case study from a Hong Kong university is presented where students produced scientific videos and reports. The project was scaffolded over several weeks and assessed composition and language use. Analyzing model documentaries helped address multimodality and rhetorical strategies.

Multimodality and digital literacies in ESP coursescahafner
This document discusses embedding multimodality and digital literacies in ESP courses. It begins by outlining the emerging needs of ESP learners in a digitally mediated world. It then defines digital multimodal composing as going beyond traditional writing to include modes made available by digital media like videos and infographics. A process-oriented genre approach is proposed where authentic genres and practices are identified, the role of multimodality is examined, and projects are designed. An example course embeds a digital video documentary project alongside a written scientific report to develop students' digital literacies.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
