I posted two artifacts so far to the Ning. One was a picture of the alphabet with words I wrote in Hebrew that start with the corresponding letter. The second artifact I posted was a video I made. Using iMovies, I dubbed my voice over a video I downloaded from Youtube. I had to cut the video and move scenes in order to match the voice with the images. The video was about greetings, introduction, and farwell.
For my future learning tasks, I will be making videos to document my progress. I don't think that pictures will necessarily show my progress because speaking is an important part of learning a language. That is the reason why I will use videos to show my competency in speaking Hebrew. I am currently working on making a montage about my family that I will dub my voice over using iMovies to present them and talk about their careers and ages. Other artifacts I will make will be about the weather or soccer. I always show my artifacts to my language partner after they are done to assess the grammar, accent, and overall accuracy.
My favorite artifact will be the one about having a short daily dialogue with a native speaker. I will record a Skype conversation that I will have with one of my Israeli friends from high school. It will be exciting to talk to them in Hebrew.
