International TEFL InstituteActivities Using Video
- Class Discussion
Students discuss a topic that is related to the subject material on the video clip.
- Prediction
You could stop the clip at a particular point and enter into a class discussion of what the students think happens next. Alternatively, the students could write a continuation of the story.
- Specific Task
The students complete a worksheet while listening to the clip. You can then check the students’ answers to check their understanding of the material.
- Role-play
The students can act out certain scenes from the clip in small groups.
- Lip-synch
Advertisements work really well for this kind of activity. Firstly, switch off the sound and get students to work in pairs to predict and write the script. Each pair then comes up to the front of the classroom and sits on either side of the television. When you play the clip again, the students ‘lip-synch’ it. This is a fun activity!
