THE MULTI-MEDIA EDUCATION PROJECT
The aim of this project is to provide innovative, creative and culturally relevant bilingual multi-media educational resources to aid English language learning in Tamil-medium schools. The initial objective of this project is to complete a set of modules for the
basic English language DVD series, a language learning resource that will be used as part of Aid India’s English curriculum, which will provide interactive linguistic reinforcement by encouraging students to practice speaking, listening, reading and singing in English. The DVD will incorporate multiple learning styles and
will be comprised of stories, songs, animation, and dialogue skits. It will be based in a phonetic approach to reading and a conversational approach to speaking. The intern will be involved in multiple aspects of this project throughout the pre-production, production and post-production stages.
