cloze scripts, that is, asking students to view a scene and have them fill in missing words in a cloze 
script you have created (Allan, 1985).

Allan further suggests activities using videos that may enhance students’ speaking skills. 
• 
Role Plays: Have students role play a scene, practicing the lines of dialogue for correct intonation 
and emphasis. 
• 
On-Location Interviews: Have students circulate around the classroom and interview each other 
using questions contained in the video segment. Students can then report to the class about their 
interviews. 
• 
Information Gap: Have half the class see a segment without audio and the other half hear it without 
the picture. Students from each half of the class then pair up, talk about the situation and characters, 
and act out the scene. 
• 
Strip Dialogue Scenes: Write dialogue lines on separate strips of paper, distribute them randomly, 
and have students recreate the scene by putting the lines together. 
Challenge learners to practice their parts of speech skills by picking out words of different types 
from the videos watched. As students advance in their English-learning skills, use videos as vehicles to 
practice parts of speech. Instruct students to write down all the nouns, verbs, adjectives or adverbs that 
they hear in a section of a video. Play a short clip, and see how many words of the featured part of speech 
the student accurately identified.
