Tutors say of using video:
• “Video is more fun & therefore more motivating than just listening & reading.”
• “It demonstrates real situations.”• “It exposes the learner to a wide range of
accents.”• “Film can demonstrate new and unexpected
cultural or social issues.”• “Video clips offer much more than just listening
practice.”
