Using Video Platforms to Enhance Student Centered Learning in the ESL Classroom
In this workshop, presenters will introduce methods for encouraging students to present and speak in front of public audiences. The workshop will start with an introduction to video platforms, such as Fishbole (https:/www.fishbole.io/ Presenters will discuss how to integrate this platform into teaching ESL and ESP courses step by step, from a scripted, 30 second presentation to a full length, public presentation live, in front of an audience. Participants will access and create their own plans for integrating public speaking and video software into the courses they are currently teaching, as well as offer feedback to one another and get feedback from the presenters. The workshop will be open to all English language teachers, but will focus on university level ESL and ESP teaching.
