This is the video we viewed via the YouTube channel. The quality is lower as it has been compressed to only 9% of the original size, but it’s still clear. I used the compressor app for iPhone that I sent out via email. It allows you to select the compression level—reduce the video to 10mb or less and it should upload fine.

Pair task: Low-Fi 2-3 minutes {REC}

1)      Plan your content: Use the list of suggested content, go online here to see some more examples or go your own way:  A good starting point is here:

e.g. "Hello, my name is ______ and I would like to welcome you to your English for further studies course.  Along with my colleagues, I will be helping you to gain the academic skills and language that you will need to be successful in your university career here in Australia"

2)      Compare your notes with partner and review content / sequence

3)      Dictate the content into ‘notes’ on your phone or type your ideas into a word doc (notes or verbatim depending on how you want to have them on your cue screen

4)      Cut and paste the content into the online prompter:
http://www.cueprompter.com/

5)      Practice reading back to set speed and edit content

6)      Find a comfortable space that is quiet, for example a classroom

7)      Open cue/prompter on laptop

8)      Hand your mobile to your partner to hold horizontally to record your video.

9)      Stand approximately 1 metre apart

10)  Speak to your partner rather than the camera—don’t worry about the beginning and ending—you can ‘clip’ the video either on your phone or in you tube

11)  Create a padlet for your class and upload the video.

12)  On Friday, log in to your MOODLE course, place your padlet next to the study guide for your course called “Meet your teacher and classmates—teacher and student welcome videos” ready for your new students to view and upload videos or other content to before arriving in class on Monday morning.

Hello my name is Ashley Carmody and I am a teacher of English for academic purposes. I have been teaching academic English for over 20 years and have been working with international students like you on courses here at La Trobe since 2008.  First of all, I would like to welcome you to your English for Further studies, or EFS course. Over the next 10 weeks, along with my colleagues, I am looking forward to helping you learn the academic skills and language you will need to be successful at University here in Australia.
On this course we will try to encourage you to communicate with each other and work together as a team to improve your academic skills and to learn from each other as we prepare for your further studies in foundation, diploma or university coures at La Trobe.
As part of your English for further studies course, you’ll be expected to use this online MOODLE space each day to prepare before coming to lessons.  Preparing before class will give us the opportunity to spend lesson time discussing the ideas you find here and checking your understanding.  In fact we will spend most of our time together face-to-face each week clearing up any difficulties you have with the materials on MOODLE and practising applying the new skills you have gained in a variety of classroom activities. Completing both before and after class MOODLE tasks will therefore be the best way to enjoy, be part of and learn most from your English for further studies course.

For me, one thing I really enjoy about teaching is meeting and working with you, our learners from different countries and helping you to work together towards your goals and gradually adapt to the new educational and cultural environment you will discover here in Australia.

What about me, personally? Well, to relax and enjoy myself when I’m not here with you, I enjoy writing and playing music. Creating and playing songs with friends is something that I get a lot of enjoyment from. I also like being outdoors, so walking, cycling and swimming at the beach (when I can get there) are passtimes that bring me a lot of pleasure. I also enjoy travelling when I can get away from Melbourne— if I can’t get away physically, then reading novels is something that helps me to escape the real world a little, to switch off, in my spare time.

Now it’s your turn to share a little about yourself, so that all of us can get to know each other. Write a few words about yourself or upload a photo or one or two minutes of video direct to this padlet space to introduce yourself to me and your classmates.

To get ready for our first class next week, please start by looking through your study guide to get to know about what you can expect from your EFS the course. We will discuss the course goals, requirements and assessments in the study guide in our first lesson together, so familiarise yourself with them before you come and make a note of any questions you have about them to ask the group when we meet.

Also, take a look at the MOODLE resource book for week one and think about the goals for the first week of your course. You don’t need to complete any activities at this stage, but just begin to become familiar with what you can expect and what we will expect from you over the next 10 weeks.

That’s all from me for now except to say once again a very warm welcome to your English for further studies course I look forward to learning a bit more about you from your introductions and to seeing you in class next week. Bye for now.
