Abstract	This paper describes a video-making project in which twenty-four Russian language students at a Malaysian university made their own digital videos in Russian. The article argues that the activity supports a constructivist perspective on education, based on such tenets as the active construction of knowledge by learners, the social nature of learning, the authenticity of the learning situation, and the ability of students to determine their own learning goals. This study describes stages in the video project implementation, gives a brief overview of two student-produced videos, and reports the learners' opinions about the activity. The students' perceptions of the video project reflected the four constructivist assumptions adopted in this study. The paper concludes that involving language learners in video projects is conductive to the application of constructivist principles in the foreign language classroom and that the activity enhances the pedagogical effectiveness of language teaching.
