Using Videos #2

                       


What is this?
  • It is an educational video from youTube that English teachers can use in class.
  • It shows children's daily routine according to specific time. 
How might you use it to foster language learning?
  • Study three areas with this video: reading time, describing what you do at certain time, practicing answering different questions properly
  • While watching, pause the video to make them predict what the speaker will say
  • Encourage students to listen and repeat carefully to practice pronunciation and intonation
  • On the next watching, make the video mute and pause sometimes. Ask students to say the proper expressions about the scene
  • After watching, practice reading the time with a big toy clock
  • Let them draw about their own routine and say about that
  • Record students performance and show the videos to the class or send each student's video to their parents through e-mail
What limitations should the teacher consider when using it?
  • Difficult to record everyone's saying in a large class
  • Some students might want to keep watching this kind of video 
  • Should consider a poor play depending on the internet speed
