  2. ‘ • “Video is a supercharged medium of communication and a powerful vehicle of information. It is packed with messages, images and ambiguities”.

  3. “What we are now seeing is the gradual ascendance of the moving image as the primary mode of communication around the world: one that transcends languages, cultures and borders.”

  4. Language focus • “Follow Me” • Language: RP, input-flooded formulaic dialogues Context: artificial, often high class Style: studio-based- comedy sketch, soap opera,mini- drama

  5. Skills practice

  6. “Active Viewing” (CLT 90s) • Working with the interface… • Vision on/sound off, sound on/ vision off • Exploiting subtitles / translation • Split viewing, freeze framing, etc. • Dictogloss

  7. Cinema:Shorter sequences • Openings & Endings • Meetings, Phone conversations • Flashbacks, Dream sequences • Trailers, Voiceovers…

  8. Coursebooks and the moving image • 2001 to present…

  9. Genre: Semi-scripted vox-pops news documentary new genres: visual poetry / animated lectures… • Context: Target culture  International, “real-world”voices… • Tie-ins: BBC, Reuters, Nat Geo, etc. • Format/Delivery: VHS, DVD, Vodcasts, Integrated? Streamed, downloadable?

  15. Where we’re at now • New means of instruction (blended, flipped, MOOC?, “Plan Ceibal”) • New classroom shapes (learner or teacher projected video?) • New literacies emerging (transmedia, information, remix…)

  16. Re-design • “An approach of re-design is about constructing new ideas, artefacts and approaches – it is a forward-facing proactive stance that does not critique others’ work but makes its own contribution”. Grant, Lyndsay in “Digital Literacies”; Dudeney, Hockly, Pegrum, 2013, (37)

  17. Literacies GuntherKressquoted in “Digital Literacies”; Hockly et al 2013, (37)

  18. Media literacy programs need to be updated and married to filmmaking classes. There is no better way to critically appraise the message of others than to speak one own’s message.
