About the Virtual Audio-Video Archive
The VAVA is a collecion of royalty-free audio and video files for teachers
to use in their own creative exercises. We have also developed a small number
of sample exercises that utilize material from the VAVA. Currently we offer
exercises in Polish and Norwegian. The LCTL Project encourages teachers of
all LCTLs to cooperate in developing new VAVA exercises using audio or video
materials. Please contact us with comments and contributions.
Individual exercises might be very simple listening practice, or they might
be more complex, integrating sounds, video clips into reading, writing, speaking
and listening activities for students.
