I teach a communicative English course to first-year students at my institution. My research interests are varied, but I am currently engaged in projects relating to formative assessment, vocabulary development.

H5P Tasks for Communicative Language Practice

H5P is a plugin for Moodle and other websites that enables teachers to create interactive content including slideshows, interactive videos, games, branching scenarios, quizzes, and much more. In this workshop attendees will first be introduced to a range of H5P content as they were designed to facilitate a communicative English course. Applications and limitations of H5P to enhance existing classroom activities such as information-gaps and dictations will be demonstrated, as will a handful of entirely new language learning tasks made possible through H5P. Attendees will have the chance to build content in a dedicated Moodle course.
