About the VE

VE 2023 - Global Education

* The program & schedule

Together with your teammates from your university, find a short Youtube video (max 2 minutes) that – from your knowledge at the moment – represents the city (Baltimore and Tel Aviv) where your partners study (this could be news, a tourist ad, a music video, a trailer from a TV series set in the city, etc.). Prepare to share your video in the first meeting and discuss responses in your team. (If a team member cannot make it to the kick-off, share the videos in your own channels and discuss during the week).

Link to assignments from earlier years for inspiration

In this final task (which has 3 parts - be sure to read all the way to page 3) you will build upon the work you did for task 2 to plan and create a multimodal video, (max 7 minutes) using multimodal tools (see the examples above), focusing on your fact file. Your aim is to clearly identify an issue of Global competence and inclusive English for the English/TESOL classroom and present possible ways of managing or dealing with the issue that would be helpful for other English/TESOL teachers and student teachers. In preparation, please view the two example multimodal presentations from prior groups of students.

Schedule

On this page you will find the schedule for the weeks of the VE. Use it when you plan your meetings.

Each task will be led by students from a different institution Consider what it means to be a task leader. A task leader is not the boss or someone who does all the work. A task leader is a coordinator and facilitator who does the following: liaises with the instructor when the team has questions about the task; initiates discussions of task instructions and checks so that all team members agree on how best to approach and carry out the activities together; takes the role as mediator, driving team-discussions onward by for example posing questions, suggesting ideas and making sure that everyone is included; organizes, runs and records your video conferences or delegates someone in your team to do this; makes sure that team activities are visible on the task Padlets.
