Before filming these videos, the students studied vocabulary for clothing, colors, and materials for several weeks. They learned from the teacher’s personal suitcase of clothing and from each others’ clothing. They learned to pronounce the words, use the words in sentences (written and oral), and use the sentences in dialogs. They practiced singular and plural forms of regular nouns. The teacher provided vocabulary, sound files, and model dialogs in class and on the web.
The students brought their own clothing to class in a bag (4 singular items and 4 plural items: “a pair of ___”). They role-played a salesperson and a customer at a department store using three dialog models.
As an outside (homework) assignment, students followed the three models to create six short dialogs with a partner. Each student needed to play the salesperson and the customer for each dialog with their own clothing and accessories. The students used their own recording equipment or that of classmates or friends (computer, camcorder, cell phone).
To find a video, please look at the date pane on the right. Under 2010 > October, you will find three MODELS and student examples of each. To view a video, choose the names of a pair of students. Click the triangle in the middle of the photo to play the video.
These videos were recorded by students, who provided the raw footage to the teacher, who then made some edits before making them available on this blog. Marsha Chan, Mission College, Santa Clara, California, USA.
