Video
and Editing for ESOL
Filming,
video, and editing, as a fun and exciting approach to communicative
lessons.
This is a hands-on project-oriented online workshop. By the end
of this workshop, the participants (beginners and/or advanced,
according to the nature of the participants’ needs in 2006) will have
covered the basics, and explored some of the more advanced strategies
of videotaping and editing. They will be able to incorporate this
new teaching strategy into their classroom.
This session helps participants use free Microsoft Movie Maker, pre-installed on XP
operating systems. and iMovie,
available on Apple Macintosh computers. These video editing
packages are easy to use, and a good foundation from
which to develop experience with videotaping and
editing. During this workshop participants will also be able to
investigate other programs of their choice.
Target
Audience
Video_editing4esol
is a Yahoo!Group which came into action during EVO 2005. Any
teacher--both beginners and advanced computer users--with any range of
knowledge, from limited to expert, of video-making and editing is
welcome to participate.
Weekly Content
- Week I – Welcome
During this week participants will become
familiar with navigating the video_editing4esol
Yahoo!Group. Participants and moderators will introduce
themselves and describe the equipment and software available to
them. During week 1 moderators will ensure that all participants
have the required equipment for editing as well as access to some
videotaping resources.
- Week II – Video making:
What is involved?
Topics to be discussed during this week
are:
- video genres
- video equipment – this is an important aspect
of the course and will be
covered in greater details during week 2.
- organisation and management of resources and
class
- Week III - Accessing
Resources
Participants will find and use online
video and editing tutorials, they will also explore websites that
provide videos for educational purposes. For example;
- film or video sites = http://tinyurl.com/9gvu8
- Editing Tutorials = www.atomiclearning.com
Questions to consider:
- Which tutorial resources are suitable for which
type of learner category?
- What do educational sites using videos have in
common/difference?
- Week IV -
Videotaping
Hands on experiment, for participants with
the right equipment and time are to make a very short one minute clip
of their choice.
Topics of discussion during the week (or once videos
are completed) will reflect the process of making a video:
- What types
of problems would students encounter when making a video?
- Is it
reasonable to expect students to make a video clip without a script to
stimulate spontaneous speaking ability?
- During Weeks 4 & 5, participants
will work with their
preferred video acquisition and editing software. Nicolas will
specialize in Windows Movie Maker 2;
Mike in Adobe Premiere 6.x or
Adobe Premiere
Pro 1.5; and Bruce in Studio9.
- Week V - Editing
a Video
Hands on experiment with editing. During this week the creative aspects
of editing a video are discussed and experienced with;

editing software with relative efficiency?
