Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hey guys!

My name is Rafael, I'm from Rio de Janeiro and I'm an English teacher in some public schools here in my city.

I work with kids from the age of 5 to 17, most of them are from a very poor background, they have very little access to culture and the world outside their neighborhoods. It's a challenge trying to teach them English, to say the least...

Anyway... in one of the schools where I work I have a workshop where I use digital and social media to teach English and have the students producing content in English - I'm about to finish a project where they created subtitles for music videos of the artists they like... I helped them translating the lyrics and taught them how to work with the subtitle software and the results have been great so far (one of my students wanted to translate "This I Love" because she said the verse "I've searched the universe and found myself within her eyes" was just heartwarming  :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:)

Anyway.

After the Olympics are done I wanna start a new project where they are going to "interview" some foreign friends of mine. Basic stuff like "What's your name?", "Where are you from?", "How old are you?", "What do you do for a living?" and things like that, just so they can practice the basics of WH- and yes/no questions, countries, nationalities, professions... they will record themselves asking the questions and we'll edit their videos with the videos the ones being interviewed are going to send me. I already have a few people that are interested in participating, but the more people the better.

And here's where I need your help.

Who would be interested in participating in this school project? If you are, please answer here and I'll get in touch with further details...

Thanks in advance! =D

I think Recife is not foreign enough. :(

So you would send a video with the students questions to the volunteer, then the volunteer would record a video with the answers and send it back to you?

Kinda... I would just sent the volunteers the questions and they would record the videos (it's easier that way) then I'd record my students asking the questions that I sent and edit it all out. After it's all done I'm going to upload the videos to our workshop's facebook page...


You can pass as a foreigner, they don't have to know!  :hihi:

Yeah, I look a lot like a swedish. :hihi:

i will be able to help but not until about 3 weeks

Thanks! I'm only doing this after the Olympics anyway..


A mind-blowingly BEAUTIFUL Swedish!   :-* :-* :-*

You silly   :nervous:

Perhaps... not blind, though...  :hihi:

Digging up the thread here... I'm gonna start this project next week. Can you still participate?

Yup! But you already know that  :hihi:
