Video-making in an ESL classroom
In this project, I asked ESL students to participate in a video project to express their knowledge of previous lessons. Students had opportunities to practice real situations, and adapt technologies to create fun and informative videos. Students chose a context to produce an 8-10 minute video in a group of four or five students.
