Audio resource creation for English language teaching - an online course from ELTA and ITfC
Background
IT for Change and English Language Teachers Association (ELTA) are collaborating to design and conduct an online course on “Audio resources creation for language teaching ” for English language teachers. The course is based on the National ICT curriculum theme “Creating with ICT”. This note discusses the objectives, approach, requirements of participants and expected outcomes from the course.
Objectives of the course
- To explore the arbitrary connections between word and thought and script and sound
- Exploring new digital methods for language learning.
- Exploring Audacity FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) to create language resources for language teaching
- Learning recording and editing audio using Audacity. Making audio resource richer by using multiple sources
- Understand the philosophy of creating and adapting existing audio resources (Open Educational Resources created with FOSS)
- Publishing created audio resource on a public repository for the benefit of all teachers
Approach
The course will be held over 5 webinar sessions and each webinar duration will be for a duration of 90 mins.
- Session1: Overview of the course. Exploring the role of audio in language learning. Introduction to audio resources/ICT, and identification of audio resource to be created by each participant.
- Offline activity – Install Audacity on the computer. Record audio clip
- Session 2, 3 and 4: These sessions will be hands-on sessions. Here the participants will create the audio resource on the selected topic and will finally upload on an online repository.
Requirements from the participants
- All the participants should have a computer (desktop or laptop) along with a good mic + speaker (headphones).
- Audacity application must be installed on the computer. For installation instructions, refer https://teacher-network.in/OER/index.php/Learn_Audacity#Installation .
- Only those intending to attend all 5 webinars should register for the course. To register please fill the google form http://tinyurl.com/ELTA-ItfC-Audioresource
- The webinar is proposed to be held on the following dates July 17, 21, 24, 28 and 31. The webinar timings tentatively will be from 5.30 to 7 pm.
Expected Outcomes
It is expected that at the end of the course, each participant would have created an audio resource, on their selected topic (poem or prose or any other resource). This resource would be published on a public repository. Participants who successfully complete the course and upload their resources on the repository will get a certificate of completion from IT for Change and ELTA.
