Wordless media are explored as a tool for opening minds and sparking ideas and interactions in an international elementary classroom.

Student-made video projects to enhance speaking skills - the Book
Rob Howard

Since 2007, I‘ve been using student-made video projects to stimulate teenaged students to plan, script, film and present a variety of videos that have increased oral production, confidence and fluency through out-of-class assignments with varied subjects. This talk will outline the methodology, implementation and benefits. This will promote a book.
