Why Use Video to Teach ESL Students?

There are a number of reasons why video is a great resource in the EFL classroom:

• 
  its fun and adds a change of pace
  
• 
  its good for visual learners
  
• 
  it helps bring a subject to life
  
• 
  the language in videos is usually more natural
  
• 
  the language is set in a realistic context
  
• 
  students hear natural pronunciation, stress and intonation
  
• 
  depending on whats shown, video can make a lesson memorable
  
• 
  showing a small clip can be as effective as a whole movie
  
• 
  video can be a great way to practice a wide variety of language skills
  

Video-based material can range from a still picture taken from a video to the whole movie or TV show and everything in-between. Which one you choose depends on the aim of the lesson at hand.
1. Documentaries 2. TV shows, films and trailers 3. Cartoons 4. Homemade videos including the students own home videos) 5. Advertisement 6. News clips and stories 7. Weather forecasts 8. Instructional videos (focusing on English language acquisition or other content areas) 9. Vlogs and video clips from websites 10. Sports events
If you like teaching English with entertaining video clips, then youre going to absolutely love FluentU.
FluentU takes real-world videos—like music videos, cartoons, documentaries and more—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons for you and your students.
Its got a huge collection of authentic English videos that people in the English-speaking world actually watch on the regular. These are videos that your students already love watching, so theyll be beyond excited to interact with them in the classroom.
I suggest we teachers should reflect on and study our own teaching. Think about our teaching history what worked last week, what did not? Do we need to change your methods or add variety? Are we covering too much material or not enough? Are we emphasizing the important points and it would be better to obtain student feedback frequently? Starting out, I suggest doing this at the end of each. You may believe that you do not have time to administer this, but if your teaching is ineffective the time you spend teaching is wasted anyway. Understand that even the best teachers cannot expect positive comments from all students so you must weigh student responses critically.
