1. Activities using voice record in Excel and Word Why use sound? Audio is clearly an integral part of MFL teaching and learning but is often overlooked in PC-based activities other than those provided on CD ROMs How can sound be incorporated into teacher created activities? Every multimedia PC has a voice record and playback facility. Once youve learnt how to record your voice into one Microsoft application, you can do it in any – they all work in the same way.

2. How can sound be used? To create interactive activities – the students respond to an audio prompt To create talking PC or interactive whiteboard based flashcards – combine a recording with a picture. To provide opportunities for the students to record their voices – a role play or individual piece of work can be recorded into Word or any other application and saved or emailed for teacher feedback. Students can revisit recordings produced earlier in the year to compare with later, improved efforts.

3. The next 4 slides Run the slide show for 2 more slides to see an eample of talking flash cards then stop the show and see how the gray area around the slides can be used to support pupils in creating their own sound files as answers to questions.
