With beginning level learners, a straightforward dialogue substitution project can be exploited to foster linguistic development in all skill areas. Starting off a project with the showing of the muted video clip requires students to pay close attention to visual details, especially paralinguistic features such as facial expressions and body gestures. Learning to tune into such contextual clues is an important part of listening comprehension. As soon as students are able to give simple descriptions - a stage typically reached after a few weeks of classes, it is possible to use the muted video clip as the stimulus for a description exercise. Working together Jack in the target language, the whole class can be called upon to make sense of the scenario. Who are the participants? Are they men, women, children? Are they young or old? Are they students or workers? Where is the action taking place? Inside, outside? Is it in a park, a restaurant, a classroom, doctor’s office? What are the participants doing? Studying, eating, talking, watching television, and so on, and so forth? A discovery session like the one described here can easily take up an entire class hour. It really should not be rushed since its purpose is to provide students with task-based practice using vocabulary and grammatical structures they have been learning. It is also a prime occasion to teach new material relevant to the video-dubbing task.
