Learner comments:“It was a good idea to use non-English students asactors / actresses, which gives people awareness ofEnglish varieties. However, it could be better toinclude English students (at least one) as mainactors / actresses in all scenes. Or make somescenes with all English students.”
“If you provide script, it will be more helpful toreview the video footage.”
