Back to webinar page with details of forthcoming and past webinars
It was a delight for ALL to host the ITET group on a rainy Monday afternoon.
Dr Carmen Herrero and Dr Isabelle Vanderschelden introduced us to FILTA and enthused the participants about using film and continuing to share enthusiasm and ideas. Well over 100 attended, and we know that many others who could not attend because of work commitments or time zones will be catching up with the video and chat later. We would be very happy to host any future get-togethers!

RECORDING
SESSION DESCRIPTION + PRESENTERS
ALL London hosts webinars for the MFL community and this webinar, held in a Zoom room and also viewable on an unlisted YouTube stream, is open to all MFL teachers. We hope that you will like us and want to join!
We thank the presenters, who give freely of their time and expertise. Where possible, most sessions are recorded and available for viewing later.
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Taking into account the growing significance of visual cultures in education, especially the increased popularity of streaming services and the video sharing site YouTube since the start of the pandemic, this session will present the project Transmedia in Education: New Approaches to Transmedia and Language Pedagogy. The first part of the session will focus on introducing the visual literacy framework that we use and on presenting some resources for embedding films more systematically in L2 teaching. Our case studies include pedagogical applications for using short film flexibly as part of language classes. The second part of the session brings together the opportunities and affordances derived from the explosion of user-generated online content by prosumers (consumers and creators) working with a mix of non-verbal cultural artefacts (e.g. short films, publicity materials, animation, video games, etc.) to broaden students’ transmedia skills, develop translingual and transcultural competences, and encourage creativity and storytelling skills.

00:59:45 55071292: mirror images, it could be linked to art
00:59:46 User: I do think that to analyse the semiotics should be for AS/A level, isn´t it?
00:59:56 Steven Fawkes: What order did the half pairs come in?
01:00:27 55071292: @helen Myers, I think it is just a cultural sensitivity in certain schools
01:00:34 Helen Myers: Really good point Carmen – using film to stimulate – not as listening comprehension
01:00:37 Anne: I love this Petit Bateau one, no dialogue but French language song that can be muted if you wish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTyqDYUFa9I
01:00:38 User: I think all students would love this short film

01:01:08 Helen Myers: I see, 55071292!
01:01:41 55071292: @Darnelle, I have a whole day worth of tasks based around the FILTA work if you want it, I am at Man Met
01:01:44 User: I use a lot of films from Spain and all Latinamerica, and sometimes French ones too …
01:02:07 Helen Myers: Yes Isabelle- more stimulating perhaps than the standard ‘describe a picture’
01:02:30 55071292: our pgce students loved working on film via the FILTA site, it is superb, that alongside Rachel Hawkes’s work
01:03:03 Darnelle Constant-Shepherd: @55071292 oh yes PLEASE. Thank you, that y=would be great!
