EVO Video 2008 ESL/EFL

Video Slide Shows and Vlogging

 


Sponsor

We will seek the sponsorship of TESOL Video and Digital Media, and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) ISs.

 

Syllabus

 

Description

EVO Video 2008: ESL/EFL Video Slide Shows and Vlogging is a free workshop for all teachers interested in learning how to use student-produced video slide shows and vlogs to enhance their classes. Both video slide shows and vlogs can be made available to a wide audience via the web and can therefore become powerful motivational tools. In addition, slide shows can be created in little time with minimal equipment (camera phones and a computer), so they are particularly suited to teachers with limited access to IT resources.

 

Target Audience

ESL/EFL teachers interested in web-video and student video production.

Ryan Detwiler earned his BA in English and TESL Certificate at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 1998 he taught video production to a high intermediate class of ESL students and has been hooked on producing video and web-based content ever since. After living and teaching in France and Japan for a couple of years, Ryan moved to San Francisco, California, to get an MFA in Motion/Pictures and Television at the Academy of Art University. In March of 2005 he founded ESL Video, Inc., an educational software development / production company. He co-moderated the EVO Video 07 workshop.

 

Nicolas Gromik was born in New Caledonia, and educated in Australia, where he first started teaching French. He then moved to Japan where he currently lives and works as an EFL with CALL focus lecturer. In 2005, in Cooperation with Elizabeth and Mike Marzio, he started filmediting4esol EVO TESOL, and since then he hasn't stopped discovering the benefit of integrating video in the classroom as a project-based activity for advanced Japanese learners of English to attempt as a challenge. In 2007, one pair of student produced a 15 minute video on "Orphans in Sendai", and it was submitted in the Sundance Festival; not to win, but go through the whole process of video production from concept to delivery. In his spare time, he makes short documentaries, delivers workshops and presentations on the benefit of video production, and attempts to deliver online resources. He co-moderated the EVO Video 07 workshop.

 

Mike Marzio:Born and raised in the USA, Marzio did Masters work at New York University in 1969/1970 in English Education. In 1976, he created a language school in the south of France for the professional needs of corporate customers. In the same year, he began ESL videotaping and editing, resulting in numerous EFL/ESL comedy sketches including We Mean Business, a co-production with Longman. In 1992, he began the Real English project, and more recently his blog. Mike hopes that his practical experience as cameraman, interviewer, and video editor will prove useful to EVO video 2008 participants around the world.

 

Sergio Mazzarelli was born in Italy. He earned his PhD in English from the University of Birmingham in 1996. Since 1997, he has taught a variety of EFL classes at Kwassui Women's College in Nagasaki, Japan. In 2007, he joined the EVO Video 07 workshop and developed a strong interest in video slideshows, which led him to establish the ESL Slideshow Exchange Site as well as to create the Orandazaka channel on YouTube and to upload his students' video slideshows to it. He hopes to continue producing slideshows and expand class exchanges based on them.

 

Geoff Taylor trained with International House, has taught adult EFL for over 25 years in Europe, Egypt and the USA, and now teaches full-time at St Clare's, Oxford, England.
