[Training] Participatory Photography in teaching ESOL
1 ticket for 2 workshops! WEDNESDAY, 27th APRIL & 4th MAY 4-7pm UK TIME
FULL TRAINING consists of 2 workshops:
- PART I on 27th April 2022
- PART II on 4th May 2022
This workshop combines participatory ESOL with participatory photography. Using participatory photography to develop language skills offers a different way for students to express meaning and develop voice. ESOL students can find talking about photographs helps them to communicate ideas about things that are important to them in their lives. This workshop explores the concept of ‘voice’, an important aspect of participatory photography. It also introduces the idea of visual literacy: being able to respond to and ‘read’ a photograph for meaning.
Participants will learn about concepts such as colour, shape, repetition, pattern and texture in photographs and how to connect these to meaning. In this workshop participants will themselves take part in participatory photography activities by responding to and talking about photographs, evaluating them, and finally working on their own photographs. We will also consider at what points during the learning process we can work with participatory photography. All the activities we use will also be suitable for the ESOL classroom and will include accessible resources that participants will be able to use with their students.
PRICE (per attendee): £20 concession / £40 individual / £60 employer-sponsored
