16.45 – 17.45 Main Hall Videocameras in English language teaching, Jamie Keddie
During the last few years, we have seen an increasing interest in videorecording
devices in language teaching and teacher training (camcorders,
webcams, mobile phones, etc.). In this practical talk, I will present a
number of videos which have been created by learners, teachers and
trainers. Out of this, we will examine a variety of applications for such
devices and evaluate them accordingly. We will discuss practical,
pedagogical, technological and social issues along the way.
Jamie Keddie is the founder of Videotelling.com and Lessonstream.org.
