28/07/2017

The second edition of the Film and Video in Language Teaching course was given by UAB Idiomes teacher and trainer Kieran Donaghy from 17th to 21st July. Trainees came from countries around the world including Venezuela, Chile, Reunion Island (France),  Norway, Belgium, Italy and Spain. Feedback from trainees was extremely positive. Here are some of their comments:

"Kieran shared with enthusiasm his wealth of experience through numerous practical examples and links as to where to find relative resources and information."

"Kieran justified the need for video literacy, provided a rich selection of video resources, and created a productive learning environment in the classroom."

"Kieran was very well prepared and the materials he gave were really relevant for the purpose of the course."

"Kieran fostered challenge in teaching new technologies applied to the language classroom - and made us laugh , showing that the secret of doing things well is to have fun!"

"Kieran interested the audience, got us involved, and made us participate."

"The course has given me more confidence in developing learning resources, and wider variety of approaches for exploiting video."

"After doing this training course I will definitely use more videos in class to teach both English and empathy. In other words, film and video will become central to my practice."

"This course will enable me to incorporate video and film activities into my everyday teaching and to get my students to work autonomously on video productions."

The next edition of the Film and Video in Language Teaching course will take place on 18th to 22nd September.
