230419 Digital Storytelling in the secondary EFL classroom (weiterführende Schulen) (S) (WiSe 2014/2015)

Short Stories, films and video clips are not only helpful resources for language teaching – they are an integral part of multi-literacy classrooms. With the Digital Storytelling approach this seminar offers a product-oriented approach to EFL teaching: On the basis of selected short stories you will learn how to produce short films (i.e. Digital Stories) with your future students in order to foster their literacy (i.e. narrative, audio-visual, multi-media, writing, reading, etc.) skills. On top of that you will explore the underlying methodological and theoretical concepts as e.g. (audio-visual/multi-/media) literacy.

Requirements for credit points: active participation, teamwork, video clip production, term paper
