Why use video?

1. Audio-visual stimulation is highly motivating for students.

2. It gives authenticity to the language the students are exposed to.

3. It makes learning easier – the setting, actions and gestures aid

comprehension.

4. Visual and auditory skills can be exercised as separate practises.

5. We can use it to practise vocabulary, grammar, phrasing and

situational understanding.

Why do students have problems

understanding video content?


7

Because they are trying to understand

too much at the same time.

lesson?

15

paying attention
