WE'RE MAKING VIDEOS IN JAPANESE!
Your children may have mentioned to you that they are making videos in class. Then again, they may have not. Most classes are making videos but some are working on other projects.
We are making videos using 'real' Japanese language creatively driven by the students themselves.The tasks are designed not only to be fun but to also be educational and relevant to students. They are designed to tap into students' creativity, particularly the creativity of students who may not be engaged with day to day tasks of Japanese learning but are motivated by technology and 'concrete', 'hands-on' tasks. Language learning can be rigorous but can also be fun when the teacher acts as more of a facilitator and less of a 'chalk and talk' type of person. Students can drive the direction of their video production to input as much or as little as they want. The end result of the videos will reflect their perseverance and dedication to the task at hand.
The top 5 videos will be entered into the Japan Foundation's 'VIDEO MATSURI' (Video Festival). I look forward to viewing these videos and seeing the direction they take. While these videos are not being assessed, they go a long way towards the effort and attitude component of your child's Japanese studies,
