Videos can be a great addition to the classroom but they are not just listening exercises with nice pictures! Visual means of communication are becoming increasingly prevalent as mobile devices give many of us instant access to video-sharing websites and videos on social media. Is it time to re-examine the role of video in the language classroom?


This event is in the past. A recording of the discussion is available in the NILE Member's Area.

Whether you would just like to introduce more video into your classes or you would like to find new and innovative ways to use a resource you are already familiar with, our next NILE Insights Panel Discussion is just for you.
