British Council 1/10/16
Using video in class: a new phenomenon?

FROM TO
Video creation has moved on too…

Advantages of (short) video
5
1) They hold our students’ attention
3) They can be watched repeatedly in a lesson
4) Focused exploitation is easier
5) Paralinguistic characteristics aid
comprehension
6) Students are subjected to ‘real’ English.
2) They can be watched on the go
If video is to be used in the classroom to improve listening comprehension, it should be shown in segments and not as a whole.
listening, as a whole, video, in segments
These segments should be broken down to exploit the macro-listening skills and the micro-listening skills from the audio-component of the video. There is scant, if any, empirical evidence to indicate that videos shown in their entirety improve listening comprehension scores of nonnative speakers of English.

Back to back (+lie)At lower levels you could:
Choose a section where the action changes more slowly (or put the video in slow motion!)
Allow the pupil who is speaking to see the section once prior to describing it
Pupils do a summary as opposed to a running commentary
Pupils have to say three true points and one lie: which was the lie?
