Layering Language Skills Through Video Storytelling


 V       Layering Language Skills Through Video Storytelling
by
David Lewis Brooks
Published in The Word, Hawaii TESOL Newsletter, Vol 23 (2), February, 2014, pp. 7-8
                  This article illustrates an instructional use of video as text and tool in the classroom for building language mastery. It introduces a teaching activity called video storytelling. This technique is useful for building students’ mastery of action verbs, cognitive and emotional vocabulary, sequencing words, voice, and presentation skills through the oral language technique of narrative layering.

Definition of Video Storytelling
A video segment, when carefully chosen, is a holistic, meaning-focused genre of linguistic discourse, which can be used to great advantage to teach lexical, syntactic and discursive features of the language. Often its full range of interpersonal communication (style, non-verbals, mood, register and voice) in an authentic cultural context affords the teacher and the learner a wealth of additional language learning opportunities. The purpose of this short article is to introduce video storytelling, a method for using video as text and tool in the classroom for building language mastery. This description will focus on the instructional process for video storytelling called cumulative layering, a method for helping students develop mastery of narrative discourse at multiple levels of English proficiency.
Language teachers often rely on and recognize the importance of storytelling. Yet, how often do we really challenge our students to master this form of discourse? Video storytelling is an instructional technique for helping students develop narrative skills and to polish the telling of their stories. A simple definition follows. Students watch a brief video segment full of both action and dialogue. They are guided to fully comprehend both the linguistic, social and visual content. Then they are coached by the teacher to challenge themselves in five main ways of retelling this narrative: 1) summarization, 2) description of the action and setting, 3) description of the speech, thinking, and the emotions of the characters, 4) description of the events in linear or logical sequence with discourse markers, and 5) the combination of all of the above. There are many opportunities for creative expression within a linguistic framework that is both challenging and attainable for all students at any level.

The Process of Layering the Story
   To begin, the students watch a carefully chosen brief video segment a number of times and are guided to fully comprehend the linguistic, social and visual content. The students are then coached over several sessions to pull out or the teacher may provide the main story elements, which they will deal with in telling their own version of the story. After the students can smoothly recount the basic events (summary) of the story, they select another linguistic or content element to add to the retelling. Then, they practice retelling the story with this new layer. With continued additions of elements and an increase in sentence length and complexity, the story becomes more entertaining and complete. Next, the teachers will have the students listen to each other’s telling and give specific feedback about mastery of that element. When possible, the students should record their live re-telling (from memory without notes), so that they can individually or in pairs listen and assess their progress.
                The teacher can give specific feedback by “listening in” or reviewing the recordings or conduct a random group storytelling. In this way, the teacher picks five students and shuffles them. Then the first student begins to tell the story, at any random point, the next student is called on to continue the narrative, and then followed by the next students. Further, the storytellers should be taught to increase the complexity of sentence structure by getting them to combine sentences in various ways, including the use of coordinating and subordinating conjunctions. Finally, the students add discourse markers to the narrative to aid the listener. Once a benchmark is achieved, the students can be challenged to vary the storytelling by altering the point-of-view, tense, use of reported speech (actual dialogue), and their spoken acting voices.
                 Depending on the level of students, the amount time allotted for the project, and the goals of the storytelling project, the teacher can consider any or all of the following criteria in planning a video storytelling as a classroom activity or major performance project.

Analysis of Story and Language Elements
 a.  summary of the main events
 b.  descriptions of action/ setting / situation
 c.  description of the characters’ appearance, attitudes, and behaviors
 d.  use vocabulary to describe their
  speech and communication behaviors
 e.  description of the emotions
 f.  significant time / cause/effect relationships
 g.  cultural dimensions (social roles non-verbal behaviors, values and perceptions)
 h.  plan for relating sequence, perspectives
 i.  plan for language variations (tense / voice, point- of-view, etc)
 j.  find opportunities for creativity and fun

What qualities does the teachers consider when choosing a video for storytelling?  Hollywood movies can be used, but they are often too long and complicated. Also, the students may already be familiar with a well-known movie and may have seen it in their native language. Therefore, it is useful to make use of English language educational videos that provide some conflict situations, and which may also create the need for interpretation.
         In conclusion, the video storytelling project can be integrated it into ESL courses at various levels. It can be done as individuals or as a group or team performance. 

The Poster Talk: Using Research to Integrate Skills


                       The Poster Talk: Using Research to Integrate Skills

David Lewis Brooks

                    Published in The Word, Hawaii TESOL Newsletter, Vol 23 (2), February, 2014, pp. 13-14

http://www.hawaiitesol.wildapricot.org/Resources/Documents/Feb%202014.pdf

Presented at the Hawaii TESOL Conference, February, 2008.

          The Poster Talk is a powerful technique for getting ESL students to read non-fiction with eagerness and cumulative understanding, while further integrating all four language skills. A poster talk session by students at almost any age and ability level can serve as an exciting culmination of independent reading and writing, directed toward a meaningful integrated research project.
             Getting ESL and EFL students to read a variety of genres is essential to their development of reading skills. Moreover, expanding the breath and quantity of reading materials and broadening their avenues of response to the materials give the students opportunities to utilize and polish the other literacy skills as well. With the use of appropriate children’s fiction and young adult literature, the narrative itself will usually draw students into the story, especially when cooperative, interactive and holistic language learning activities are involved. But how can we get our ESL students with limited proficiency to read non-fiction with as much eagerness and with the cumulative understanding that enables them to achieve multiple literacy learning experiences?
    Capitalizing on students’ individual interests for content-area research to create and present an oral poster presentation is a great project for achieving the integration of reading with the other language skills. Either as individual research projects or as part of an integrated thematic unit or over-reaching project, students can select an area of interest and importance, such as “how safe are imported foods”, or “why do some whales and dolphins appear to kill themselves.”
    To give the research project a strong focus and a meaningful goal, the students need direct their efforts on finding and reading materials that can help them formulate, and also answer, the essential questions related to their chosen topic: the core questions. Generating four main core research questions about the topic and making complete, but succinct, answers to each of these questions, gives each student a directed purpose and a manageable goal. Because they will present their research during a poster session, students will need to summarize core ideas, design a stimulating visual display, practice giving an oral talk about the most important findings of their research, and also to act as good listeners and engage in asking questions to other poster presenters. By way of performance, multiple poster session presentations can occur simultaneously with one set of students making a rehearsed summary of their work in English while other ‘visitor’ students listen and ask questions. Later, their roles are reversed. After the Poster Talk session has concluded, the completed posters make an exciting and memorable wall display that continues to highlight the students’ learning.
    In conclusion, the Poster Talk provides for maximum effective integration of language skills with content-area learning.

New Music Technologies: 
Platforms for Language Growth Through Content 
David L. Brooks* 
Kitasato University, Minami-ku,Sagamihara, Japan 
Abstract. This educational showcase highlights some of the musical applications and 
devices that run them for adding music-related content and instructional activities to the 
foreign language (FL) classroom. Actual instructional uses for these mobile information 
and communications technology (ICT) devices such as the iPod, iPad, and iPhone, and 
music apps are introduced, and guidelines for what to consider in making program 
decisions for adopting such technology are given. Features of a classroom environment 
that supports language growth, creative self-expression, and increased intercultural 
competence are special considerations. 
Keywords: content-based instruction, music apps, music technology, content and 
language integration, CLIL. 
1. Introduction 
Music is a form of universal expression and communication that offers an emotionally 
satisfying, intellectually stimulating, and culturally uplifting vehicle for learning 
language. Music is individual and global, while ranging from seriously philosophical to 
outrageously fun. No doubt, it is also an important part of the lives of foreign language 
students. Yet, those who take a foreign language at university, especially a required 
course, may be disappointed to find the same tired approach to language teaching that 
has exhausted them with myriads of grammar rules and vocabulary words to memorize, 
and with content divorced from their own daily realities. However, when the essential 
elements of that foreign culture, i.e., the way people think, what they do, what they 
eat, and what they listen to – their music – are made available to the learners as objects 
to explore, they can become enthusiastic about learning the language through life and 
physical interaction with the other culture. 
The advent of content-based language units and courses into foreign language 
curricula is a welcomed development. Music is a special form of human communication

that has now become even more ubiquitous, a more accessible form of self-expression 
and social identity, and a more interactive mode of intercultural communication, thanks 
to innovations in technology. As a content area for learning a foreign language, music is 
an art form, a personal avocation, and a common cultural element. It affords teachers the 
opportunity for interdisciplinary thematic approaches that are historical, anthropological, 
literary in viewpoint, and that apply the principles of musicology and musicianship 
to the language learning experience, while also being intrinsically motivating. The 
myriad of forms of musical expression open up possibilities for exploration of music’s 
interrelationship to language with its traditions of narrative, poetic, and theatrical genres, 
and for delving into a deeper examination of intercultural values. It is not necessary to be 
a musician or music teacher to take advantage of music’s attraction and its power to elicit 
emotional and intellectual engagement. The emergence of new mobile communication 
devices and interactive media technologies have expanded the classroom’s boundaries 
beyond the walls of the school building, permeating into students’ lives well beyond the 
classroom, where music occupies a large space. 
2. Methodology 
This educational showcase highlights some of the musical applications and devices 
that run them for adding music-related content and instructional activities to the FL 
classroom. Actual instructional uses for these mobile ICT devices such as the iPod, 
iPad, and iPhone, and music apps will be introduced and guidelines for what to consider 
in making program decisions for adopting such technology will be given. Features of 
a classroom environment that supports language growth, creative self-expression, and 
increased intercultural competence are of special considerations. In addition, provisions 
for successful integration of music content and skills into the language curriculum 
development will be addressed. Those with a strong interest in music or those wanting 
experience in the use of these forms of mobile technology for language teaching have 
a wide range of instructional tools and techniques to choose from. 
3. Instructional focus 
The rapid emergence of new mobile communication devices and interactive media 
technologies has expanded the classroom’s boundaries beyond the walls of the school 
building, permeating into students’ lives well beyond the classroom. Addressing instruction 
that supports language growth, and creative self-expression is a special consideration. 
A major focus is on ascertaining the factors conducive to developing intercultural 
competence via music-related content through the use of computer tools, and computer 
mediated communication technology, as well as the voice, body and instruments. 
Developing cognitive skills and fostering academic growth are important facets of 
the content-based foreign language course in music. While learning strategy instruction

New Music Technologies: Platforms for Language Growth Through Content 
is primarily focused on language, it is also the responsibility of all teachers of any 
students and especially at the college level to teach learners to use their minds. Language 
teachers in content-based courses can teach EFL students to think critically, to reason 
logically, to employ fluency, creativity and flexibility in their mental processes, to 
establish habits of mind that help them infer the main ideas, draw conclusions, and 
summarize effectively. 
Clearly there is strong overlap with these goals and learning strategy instruction. 
Yet there should be definite plans for teaching these skills through directed instruction, 
modeling, think-aloud activities (verbalizing one’s own thinking process), and cognitive 
organizational techniques, such as mind mapping, semantic threads, brainstorming, 
graphic organizers, recognition of discourse markers and patterns of logical discourse. 
Recognizing and validating cross-cultural differences in situated cognition (Oxford, 
1990, p. x), the notion that the development of knowledge is defined, framed and 
influenced by the cultural context of the learners and the nature of the learning and 
its meaning within that culture, is vitally important. Moreover, helping students learn 
about and appreciate how other people of the world think through understanding their 
music, its values and forms of expression is an admirable and achievable undertaking 
for a content-focused, strategy-based, intercultural course in world music. 
Promoting a global perspective and building intercultural competency is particularly 
feasible in a content-based course in world music. The intercultural dimensions almost 
inherent in such a course provide avenues for teaching students about diversity and can 
open doors to cross-cultural understanding. The nature of the content affords students 
to look for similarities or universalizabilities among humans through their musical 
cultures and then to develop an appreciation for diversity by looking at the reasons 
for the differences. Such instructional activities can take the form of world music 
discovery tours via the Internet, Prezi poster presentations, songwriting and musical 
compositions in the Orff style, and other music-based projects. The essence of the goals 
for promoting an intercultural perspective should include: 1) Developing respect in 
our students for the cultures and values of other ethnic groups as well as an increased 
understanding of their own; 2) Helping students appreciate human similarities as well 
as differences; 3) Providing opportunities for students to experience people’s different 
ethnicities and an exposure to the diversity of world cultures in positive and supportive 
ways; 4) Demonstrating active efforts to understand and redress issues of intolerance, 
inequality, prejudice, and social inequities; 5) Nurturing in students the ability to 
contemplate environmental and social problems, assess different perspectives on moral 
issues, and to seek compassionate and just solutions (Meyers, 1993, p. 103). 
4. Discussion and conclusions 
Some actual instructional uses for these mobile ICT devices were illustrated with 
guidelines for what to consider in making program decisions for adopting such emerging

and still rapidly evolving technology. In addition, provisions for successful curriculum 
development and making instructional accommodations for the accompanying new 
technological competencies in the face of such rapid development of globally available 
mobile learning technology tools were addressed; in particular a framework for assisting 
ICT resource managers, training specialists and educational administrators in making 
commitments to and in implementing new mobile media was included. 
Content-based instruction, especially with a cross-disciplinary field such as 
ethnomusicology, affords the opportunity to simultaneously teach for content mastery, to 
support language acquisition, to enhance application of language learning strategies, to 
foster cognitive growth, and to build a global perspective while increasing competency 
in intercultural communication. Enthusiasm and commitment are vital and determining 
forces in learning; therefore, it behooves us all to teach something we truly enjoy and to 
reap the rewards of attempting the challenge of significant learning in our classrooms.

Language Experience in Music for ESL, Workshop at Hawaii TESOL, Feb. 16, 2013



Summary:
Breathe new life into ESL classes by capitalizing on the power of music for self-expression and social communication. This workshop focuses on music as both content and process for developing classroom instruction and task-based projects. View sample lessons and locate resources for both low tech and high tech music-related activities. 

Full Abstract:
Music is a form of universal communication that offers an emotionally satisfying, intellectually stimulating, and culturally uplifting vehicle for learning English. As a content area, it affords an interdisciplinary opportunity for thematic approaches that are historical, anthropological, literary in viewpoint, or which apply the principles of musicology and musicianship to the language learning experience. Through the process of music creation, its appreciation and performance, teachers can get their students to work cooperatively, and communicate more meaningfully.

This workshop will show how an ESL language course can adopt music activities at any level of language proficiency for developing their students' English language skills. The innate enjoyment of music helps in learning to communicate through self-expression and through a variety of learning styles. While mainly practical in aim, the session will briefly explain the process of integration of content, learning strategies, and also developing intercultural competence via several sample music-based instructional tasks. Addressing instruction that supports language growth, and creative self-expression is a special consideration. 


Nowadays, music-related content and the tools to create, record and share musical performances are widely accessible through the use of computer technology, and mobile IT (iPod, iPhone, and iPad), as well as with human voices, our bodies and simple hand-made instruments. Resources for planning and adding further music-based activities will also be presented. This workshop can benefit any teacher, whether novice or experienced, in applying content-focused, task-based instruction more successfully, particularly those who have a strong interest in music of various genres.

The ESL Teacher’s Hands-On Guide to E-Learning through Moodle


These links are used in the The ESL Teacher’s Hands-On Guide to E-Learning through Moodle workshop, given at the Hawaii TESOL 2013 Conference, held at the University of Hawaii, Hilo Campus, on February 16, 2013.

Summary: 

The workshop guides teachers in hands-on steps involved in setting up, adding basic content, and managing an online course using Moodle. The presenter shows how to build e-learning activities and integrate assignments that make an online classroom either a small part or an integral component of anyone’s teaching.



Full Abstract:
This workshop takes teachers through the basic steps for setting up, constructing activities, and managing an online course using Moodle. The free Moodle hosting service, Educadium, can be simple startup for organizing online learning. The presenter explains what a learning management system (LMS) like Moodle offers. He provides guidelines for integrating an online component to your teaching, and leads you through hands-on steps to accomplish the enrollment of students, organizing the course content, and collecting and grading assignments.
Moodle has become an increasingly popular learning management system for schools and colleges, which exceeds its expensive rivals, Blackboard and WebCT. Not only is it free Open Source software, but it is based on social constructivist theory. There is a simple-to-use test-making module within it for creating powerful online tests that include use of media files, multiple question formats, and both simple and sophisticated grading functions. Further, it has several useful activity modules for enhancing communication and student-teacher feedback, such as the forums, workshops, and surveys.
The presenter uses Moodle to guide freshmen college students in Japan learn international communication in an EFL course. The workshop is appropriate for teachers of any experience level wanting to add online components to a course or for those who want a fully online classroom. Since it is free to start and develop the course, you can begin small and build up your repertoire of skills and the level of student involvement. Resources and guidance for integrating your instructional activities into an online classroom are introduced.

Hands-on Moodle Learning:
Try it out for yourself. These answer the question: Where can I actually try Moodle?
  • Moodle.org Demonstration Site
  • Educadium (sample course )    http://campus.educadium.com/leilaniakia/      You can create your own instant Moodle site and add courses at Educadium.com  It's free (but may become limited soon). You'll have full admin rights which is great to find out what features and capabilities exist, but it can be a bit daunting - at first. Use the basic tutorials (text and video) first to understand the basics of using and setting up a course and activities with it.
  • D.Brooks' Edvantix.ninehub.com -- The Moodle Training Course for ESL Teachers is a course that already exists - so set-up isn't needed. You'll be a TEACHER once you sign up and have the rights to add content and create activities. Ninehub.com is no longer offering free hosting for small classes (25 students). However, you can still do so at  Educadium http://www.educadium.com/educadium/app/wizard.php?mode=wizard
  • Try setting up some Moodle activities. Remember in some cases, you may need to upload some necessary files( Office documents, audio or video media, etc) in the Files areas.

Part Two: Creating a Quiz in Moodle


The Quiz activity module allows the teacher to design and build quizzes consisting of a large variety of Question types, including multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions. These questions are kept in the Question bank and can be re-used in different quizzes.

Step 1 Creating the Question Bank
      Category of questions
Step 2   Create a question
        Select type of question
       Question Text
       Basic Question Setting (Score / penalty, etc)
       Question Answer Choices  (choices, score, feedback)
 Step 3   Create Quiz Activity 
         Name, date, time, attempts, shuffle, etc
