Description
In this text, Rinvolucri explores audio aspects in video-based English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching. While recognizing video's visual richness, he underscores the need for developing auditory skills. Exercises include counting cuts in a video sequence to prompt auditory focus. Students count voices in a dialogue, identifying liked or disliked voices and associating them with physical characteristics. The concept of "echoing" involves mimicking body postures and speech. Rinvolucri suggests activities like analyzing TV news and using sound snippets from films. The text advocates a balanced approach to visual and auditory elements, providing practical exercises for enhancing listening skills in language learning through video analysis.
