Practice-oriented Workshop (30-minutes) Language Classroom Content Room 412

Speaker

Denver Beirne (Asia University)

Description

The workshop will introduce a module in which students created original short films within a communicative English class. Activities were carefully structured to highlight essential processes and linguistic features required to make an effective short movie. Consequently, it was unnecessary to teach filmmaking skills specifically. Success in this context focused on students demonstrating authentic English communication within this narrative framework rather than producing professional-looking movies.
