Description

With these craft videos, the children's listening-viewing comprehension can be promoted. With the help of images and sound that complement listening comprehension, they understand foreign language content more easily. Especially at the primary level, this communicative skill is an important competency alongside speaking, writing, reading comprehension, and language mediation. It enables multi-channel perception and thus corresponds to the authentic communication situation.

The craft videos can be embedded in the lesson or be the focus of the lesson itself.

It is worthwhile to watch the craft video in its entire length first. Start from the visual global understanding. Prepare the video in terms of content and language:

Introduce the new topic, possibly with still images from the film.
Use association exercises to activate the children's prior knowledge.
Distribute observation tasks to different groups before the presentation.
The well-known procedures (true or false statements, multiple choice answers, checking off items heard or seen) can also ensure understanding during the presentation.

After the movie, discuss with the children how they liked the craft video. And, of course, tinker along.
