Abstract:
Students of Russian language often experience difficulty learning Motion
Verbs. One of the drawbacks of using textbook illustrations is that illustrations
are static images, making it difficult for the student to visualize the
entire scope of the motion.
During the first part of this presentation, limitations of traditional
approaches to teaching motion verbs will be discussed. Next, advantages
of supplementing lessons with Flash animation to teach Motion Verbs will
be covered. This will be followed by a sample lesson, using Flash animation.
Constructing lessons, utilizing Flash animation can help students visualize
these concepts. The sample lesson plan will demonstrate how simple Flash
animation may be used to help teach students the following five verbs
of motion: to walk, to drive, to run, to swim and to fly.
