Exposure to films also develops intercultural literacy.<br />

The webinar comprises two presentations, made by two university teachers/lecturers who share their<br />

experience with media-supported language learning with other language teaching practitioners. One<br />

presentation is focused on presenting film-related resources and didactic approaches. The other one<br />

presents making of podcasts as part of students’ learning project where students g<strong>et</strong> to showcase and<br />

develop their language skills (writing the script, playing the parts), digital skills (using a camera,<br />

recording sound, film-editing) as well as creativity, team-work and other skills. This approach is very<br />

motivational for the students.<br />

2. Targ<strong>et</strong> groups<br />

87<br />

This case study targ<strong>et</strong>s mainly (English) language teaching practitioners.<br />

The project aims to reach teachers and trainers who are less skilled and motivated to use media-based<br />

learning approaches. It provi<strong>des</strong> some resources for independent learners of different ages to support<br />

self-directed learning.<br />

The second good practice example demands access to recording technology: the Universitat<br />

Autònoma Barcelona students have an access to a modern studio based at the university. However,<br />

the presenter mentions that the majority of her students make the films using smart phones which are<br />

accessible to a wider spectrum of learners. Althought the population the two presenters mainly work<br />

with, studies at the university level, the contents of this case study can benefit any adult learner.<br />

Describe the solution from the perspective of e<strong>CAL</strong><br />

The case study motivates teachers to use technology and develops their digital skills. It presents<br />

interesting and effective didactic approaches to the use of video material in language class as well as<br />

as students’ project work (filming podcasts in L2). Didactic approaches are presented clearly and in<br />
