Session 6 (Oct 21): Promoting self-expression through audio activities and digital storytelling. Audacity Project: short poem, Stranger. (with voice and music)

     We learnt how to use ‘Audacity’ tonight. It is very useful for listening and speaking. Student can make fun with it and listen back for what they have said. No better ways to improve their speaking skills by listening back their own recordings. And it is a funny way to do so! As students love music more than plain reading, ‘Audacity’ allows them to put background music which arouse their interests to make the recordings.

     Paul introduced some videos about ‘digital storytelling for personal expression’ for us. They were amazing! With beautiful pictures and touching voice-over, digital story telling is powerful to tell experience and ideas. Only emotions can boost up one’s learning power, as students’ minds being enlightened, nothing is impossible.

     Sounds are the main power and source for English learning, make good use of sounds recording tools would be essential for students.
