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 />

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 />
