TESOL’s Video and Digital Media
Interest Section (VDMIS) focuses on the production and use of video and
digital materials in English language teaching.
TESOL Video News is the name of the VDMIS
newsletter. The primary audience is the VDMIS membership, which includes
anyone who is interested in student- and teacher-produced videos,
reviews of commercially available materials,
listening/speaking/reading/writing instruction through movies and TV,
media literacy, film analysis, intercultural training, video as an
assessment tool, teacher education, interactive video, distance
learning, and the use of new video-related technology.
You are warmly invited to submit an article to TESOL Video News. You can report
on activities using video, digital media, art, or music you have had
success with in the classroom, or if you still haven’t done so,
summarize your TESOL 2016 presentation in a conference report (up to 300
words) or a longer article (1,500 words). You may also submit
announcements about topics such as new materials and resources, events,
book reviews, websites, etc.
