3
The problem!
  • All first year education students enrolled in
    EDLA 107 have the same text book.
  • Few of them can understand it.
  • The linguistic terminology in the text is
    difficult.
  • The concepts in the text are difficult for the
    students.

4
The reality!
  • Lecturers and tutors in this unit need to unpack
    the terminology and concepts for the students.
  • Lecturers and tutors need to appreciate that
    nearly all students taking the unit are
    generation Y.
  • Lecturers and tutors need to accept that
    generation Y responds better to visuals than
    written academic texts.
  • Lecturers and tutors need to present the
    terminology and concepts of the text in a visual
    format.

5
The solution!
  • Make eight movie clips to complement the
    chapters of the text with which students have
    difficulties.

6
The result!
  • Video Clip One
  • Elaborated and restricted codes
  • Video Clip Two
  • Pragmatics
  • Video Clip Three
  • Critical literacy

7
Reflections
  • The logistics of working within a group.
  • Gaining an ethics clearance.
  • The timetable.
  • Working with schools.
  • Limitations of software.
  • The budget!
  • Too far reaching
  • Time is the enemy!
