I assist those instructors and their students so that they can use our video equipment and edit their video at the language labs. The instructors help students write scripts. Once the script is proved, students start their video project. In most cases, three or four students work together in group and they operate a video camera in turn without help outside their group. For editing, students use the basic editing software, called iMovie, which is bundled with Apple computers nowadays. In general, they put a great amount of time on the video project. But many of them seem to have fun while they work on it. Especially, the video project has been a routine in a particular language course for many years and the instructors consider this type of project effective and valuable for learning a foreign language. For further questions, please feel free to contact me.
