Pupils present a few words from a chosen language, using a video camera. It's a simple idea and can be done in the classroom with the minimum of equipment. It's easily accessible and lots of fun!
'Video words' is designed for teachers of native languages and foreign languages alike: pupils can present their own language or a foreign language that they are learning. The concept of sharing material is central to 'video words': we invite teachers to upload their productions and share them with the wider community. As well as being an important contribution to intercultural and media education, it is also a great motivation for language learners: just think how much more interesting it is to see Spanish children presenting their own language using images from their everyday lives rather than simply reading about the language in school books.
You can choose words which link with a theme you are already working on or you can join in with words and themes that other students have presented (check out our examples with different levels).
