Jamie Keddie's Video-telling technique says: dictate items for a narrative first to help learners visualize the story! FIRST create a story with the class and THEN show them the video! There is more to teaching than just watching a video‌ (from Jamie keddie's 'Videotelling')
Out of any story we can create a videotelling activity! Smartphones are teacher's next best friend :)
Teaching for life
Before you start using a website with your students (and a very good one to use is British Council's Learnenglishteens) please take the time with your students to go through the registration process. It will bring up a lot of interesting and valuable issues as well as a lot of good value vocabulary. Even selecting a password can be made into a valuable lesson. (from a workshop with Sandra Vida)
The development of art and language went hand in hand in the past - why shouldn't we include more art in our language teaching? (says Stefania Ballotto)
