Interesting Videos to Improve Children English

Hi guys ! at this time i am going to share about using interesting or even funny videos in improving children english, especially in vocabulary. oh i forgot to mention that this is for elementary school.

You might take a look at this video


What do you think? How's the video? Interesting isn't it? it is. especially for children.First of all, let's discuss about this.


Why Use Video in the Classroom?

Teachers who use instructional video report that their students retain more information, understand concepts more rapidly and are more enthusiastic about what they are learning. With video as one component in a thoughtful lesson plan, students often make new connections between curriculum topics, and discover links between these topics and the world outside the classroom.

Video is uniquely suited to:
- take students on impossible field trips--inside the human body, or off to Jupiter
- take students around the globe, to meet new people and hear their ideas
- illustrate complex, abstract concepts through animated, 3-D images
- show experiments that can't be done in class
- bring great literature, plays, music, or important scenes from history into the room

By exploiting the medium's power to deliver lasting images, teachers can:
- reach children with a variety of learning styles, especially visual learners, and students with a variety of information acquisition styles
- engage students in problem-solving and investigative activities
- begin to dismantle social stereotypes
- help students practice media literacy and critical viewing skills
- provide a common experience for students to discuss

Video makes children not only hear what the teacher said, but it also makes the children see the object. It will make the children easier to understand about the material.

What kind of video should we choose?
- the video must be interesting to the children
- the video has to be appropriate to the material that we are about to give to the children
- the video must not contain anything that is inappropriate to the children (sex, crime, and else)
- we have to consider the length of the video. it does not have to be so long, but not so short either.

That is all for now. I hope this information might be useful for you :)
