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”.

- 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
- To learn to record and editing audio using Audacity. Making your audio resource richer by using multiple audio files (background music)
- To introduce the philosophy of creating and adapting existing audio resources (Open Educational Resources created with FOSS)
- To publish created audio resource on a public repository for the benefit of all teachers
