Course background

Regional Institute of English, South India (RIESI) and IT for Change (ITfC) are collaborating to design and conduct an workshop on “Audio resources creation for language teaching ” for English language teachers, who are participating in the CELT/PGDELT program of RIESI. The course is based on the National ICT curriculum theme “Creating with ICT”.

Objectives of the workshop

  1. To understand the connection between the word and the thought (can we communicate abstract ideas without words, i.e., sounds) and to recognize that the combinations of sounds and what they describe is arbitrary
  2. To explore new digital methods for language learning. Exploring Audacity FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) tool to create rich language resources for use in a language lesson
  3. To learn to record and editing audio using Audacity. Making your audio resource richer by using multiple audio files (background music)
  4. To introduce the philosophy of creating and adapting existing audio resources (Open Educational Resources created with FOSS)
  5. To publish created audio resource on a public repository for the benefit of all teachers
