Discover the most creative, communicative and curiosifying approach to video
What is it about language teachers and video? Why do we feel the need to turn to sites like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok as a source of material and inspiration? Adverts, short films, and viral videos might be fun and entertaining. But why bring them into our teaching spaces?
The answer is simple. Like all human beings, language learners need narrative, and video provides us with a constant stream of visual stories to engage them. But if it’s the story we love, it’s also the part we most often neglect.
