Short Videos
- Short videos with subtitles (CC=closed captions)
- To be shown by the teacher as listening comprehension
- To be used as examples of videos students should look for and then come to class and present and/or analyze.
- If using some of the TED Talks (see TED.com), students could even be asked to practice being one of these outstanding speakers and give a short 3-minute "performance" in front of the class. This is being done in "speech classes" in the USA.
