Definition Xtranormal is a text-to-movie website which allows you and your students to create short films with your own scripts using text-to speech technology.

Rationale for UsingThis means your students write a script and then feed it into Xtranormal to produce films with characters enacting it. The free version of Xtranormal allows for a maximum of two characters, so dialogues, which are much beloved by language teachers, are not a problem.

ExamplesTeachers can use Xtranormal as a starter in a lesson to introduce a topic and reinforce vocabulary. Students do the work and produce their own scripts and films in Spanish as a means to elicit creative writing, which would then be assessed for quality of language.
