English Language Teachers are always trying to figure out what technology to use in the classroom to make learning a new language easier. What resources help English Language Learners? One of the resources that motivates my students is goanimate.com this site allows them to write dialogue, but it also has them creating facial expressions, and actions for each frame. This allows my students to start out with dialogue and get an idea of how word choice affects how others reply. As they get more advanced at using the tools available on the site they start to select actions, facial expressions, scenes, and music for each frame of their video. Since the computer can only say and do what the student programs it to do, they quickly learn the importance of details both in oral and visual communication.
Try out goanimate.com and let me know how it worked for your students!
