How can we use video effectively in the classroom?
In today's digital age, video has become an integral part of language learning. Whether it's authentic video or student-generated content, videos offer a unique opportunity to captivate and motivate learners while developing their cognitive and linguistic skills.
How can teachers make the most out of this potentially very engaging and useful medium effectively?
NILE’s brand new, free online course focuses on exploring the use of authentic video as a learning asset in the language classroom.
Teaching English with Authentic Video is a 10-hour, self-access course which will give you the chance to reflect on the type and quality of video best suited to your classroom, and think about the language and skills you can help your learners develop through video. It takes video from its usual current place in the classroom as an enhanced listening comprehension asset and looks at how to exploit it to the fullest, exploring how it can help foster confidence and autonomy and boost the development of the four skills - with a particular focus on listening and speaking - while at the same time support the development of thinking and emotional skills around topics that feel relevant and close to your learners’ hearts.
Completing the course unlocks access to an additional selection of teaching video materials from the Ready to Run video collection of authentic videos, including video content for young learners and the newest of the secondary and adult collection.
With these resources at your fingertips, you'll be equipped to engage your learners in new and exciting ways.
