At this year's Oregon Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages conference on November 20-21, David Kertzner presented on: Practical Simulation Activities with Digital Audio-Visual Content
 

Here is the Abstract

ESL teachers can create and enhance simulation activities, turning them into more dynamic training, using camcorders and free media software.  The result is a content-rich learning experience addressing multiple skills.  Workshop participants learn how audio and video recordings can be turned into tailored teaching material using free, widely-available software such as Moviemaker and Audacity.

If you are interested in receiving the handouts for this presentation, please e-mail David at dkertzner@proactive-english.com .

David can also send detailed instructions for installing Audacity audio recording software, including instructions for how to download the Audacity plug-in that allows users to export files in MP3 format.
