childhood-studies-degree-skills

2.2. Enter this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBtMwyQFXwA and follow

these instructions:

- Watch and listen to the video several times. The idea is to activate subtitles
in English to understand different words. Once you have a complete set of
words and expressions understood, you are ready for the next step.

- After having read the sample provided in 2.1 and the explanation given in the
video, you are ready to go on to stage 3. Keep in mind that this individual
practice gives you the opportunity to internalize and practice with new words.

whole activity.

STAGE 3

3. Communicative Output (Individual work)

3.1 Considering that you had a comprehensive understanding of the video and
the sample provided, using vocaroo.com, choose one of the following
questions (there are 5 questions so any student must repeat any of them),
give an answer to it and record an audio with your answer. Here you can find
a tutorial to use vocaroo.com:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqXDqmfv46M. Once you had recorded
your audio you can listen to the audio to check your pronunciation.

Choose only one of the five proposed questions:

2
 Question 1: Could you tell me a little about yourself?

Question 2: Why do you want to work for this company?

Question 3: What are your goals for the future?

Question 4: Why do you think our company should hire you

specifically amongst our pool of candidates?

Question 5: Can you tell me a little bit more about the skills that you
transfer from your previous line of work to our department here?

3.2 Once you record the audio using vocaroo.com and you have a good version
of the recording, share the link with the recording in the forum with the script
of your answer. Make sure you do it correctly.

3.3 Once all this is done, record a video of yourself showing your face and
answering the question you chose in the script using the tools learned so far.

Facial expressions, non-verbal language, intonation, fluctuations, etc. are

important aspects. You cannot read aloud; otherwise, your video will
be graded under a low level. Be careful your video can be heard and
watched correctly, doing mimics or Voice Over will give you a low
grade.

Upload the video to YouTube or Google Drive and share the link in the forum.

IMPORTANT: Be sure your video is public. It’s recommended to check it

before sending it to the forum. You can try by sending the link and ask
someone else to Access and verify it Works.
