Lights, camera, action! (NPF6)
Digital video in the languages classroom

Ruth Bailey & Claire Dugard
 


Making movies has never been so easy or inexpensive, thanks to digital video technology. The use of video-based resources and film-making not only supports language learning, but also motivates pupils and teachers, encouraging highly creative and imaginative work.

Lights, camera, action! examines how MFL teachers can exploit digital video technology to enrich their own teaching and resources, as well as inspire pupils to explore language in different contexts and to create their own films. It outlines how to get started with filming and editing, and suggests ideas for filmed material and how to use it in language lessons and beyond. The book also considers pupils' production of their own films: how teachers can effectively plan and implement a film-making project and the benefits for pupils in terms of language practice and the development of generic skills. It offers advice on planning, filming and editing digital video, supported by examples from projects which have been effective in a range of schools.
