Abstract:
“EMART: Creating Music Videos Through the Integration of English, Music, and Art.”
In this workshop, attendees will be guided through a lesson which incorporates elements of language, music, and art to create a simple and attractive music video. During this workshop attendees will participate in the lesson as learners, and will also be debriefed about the pedagogy and supporting theory so that they can experience how it works from both the inside and out. Attendees will also be introduced to simple procedures and technological tools to create music videos or slide shows quickly and easily without needing video editing software. Through this workshop attendees will develop their abilities to use simple software to create teaching materials, and gain familiarity and understanding with a new, simple, fun special lesson for their learners which can be used when the situation permits.
