Earlier this year, a camera crew from Teachers TV and the sadly soon to be defunct Becta came to Nottingham High School to film my classes in Years 9, 10 and 11 using web applications to help them practise their spoken foreign language skills. The result was premiered today on the Teachers TV website and will be broadcast on TV next week.
The tools we used on the day were Voki, Glogster and Stupeflix. You can find a more extensive list of tools here.
Also in the video, Fiona Hilton from Kingstone School in Barnsley uses the internet to stimulate her students’ interest in French life and language. She downloads French language videos to trigger vocabulary work with her Year 10 class, encourages them to use the internet for research, and use an inter-school social network to communicate with French-speaking students around the world.
Chris Harte, from Cramlington Learning Village uses Audacity to encourage students’ self-assessment skills with Year 9 group who are practicing their spoken French by creating an audio-visual presentation about Haiti.
The original video can be watched on Teachers TV.
