Merging EL and ER into Extensive Viewing Videos with Captions
This presentation will highlight how to create extensive reading content in video format that is free, fun, and effective. Teachers and materials writers can learn how to generate an endless supply of engaging media content that students can read through captions. The emergence of AI and various online tools, such as VEED.IO, has made it easy to provide captions for video and audio content. As a result, both the extensive listening and extensive reading movements are now merging with the development of extensive viewing. This presentation will demonstrate how teachers can create or find content for any level and how to add captions to videos to help students increase their reading time. Additionally, the presentation will explore the differences between reading blocks of text in paragraph format and reading captions on various devices, as well as how captions can serve as a bridge for developing a love for reading.
