Lecture, February 17, 2012: Mark Kaiser, Rossella Carbotti
Language in Film and the Language of Film: Two Semiotic Systems Engaged
by Mark Kaiser and Rossella Carbotti, University of California, Berkeley
This presentation addresses the use of film clips in the foreign language classroom. Our main focus will be on film as text and how language use in film works in tandem with cinematic devices to create meaning. We will provide a number of examples from a variety of languages (Italian, Russian, Japanese, Arabic), and provide a framework for foreign language instructors seeking ways to work with filmic texts in meaningful ways to teach listening comprehension, cultural awareness, and semiotic analysis.

I studied Russian back in the 90’s at Illinois State University which included an exchange program in Vladimir, Russia organized by Dr. Mark Kaiser.
This is a good topic and I have an interest in finding scripts for Soviet and modern Russian movies. If you have any suggestions aside from using Google.
Thank you for providing the audio so I can hear Dr. Kaiser’s lecture.
