Personally I love using different videos at the class. It’s an amazing tool to get your students involved into discussion and you don’t need special skills to provide an energetic class.
Tips for better lesson:
- Choose a video and wrap it into a topic. Add some flavor to your lesson. Let me compare it with a good meal. Imagine yourself being extremely hungry and entering a restaurant, you ask for a table and take your place. What do you expect next? I think you’ll wait for some snacks before the main course and then a dessert after it. It’s the same with a lesson: provide some snacks before the main course in forms of questions, creative tasks, and drill exercises for vocabulary, grammar or pronunciation. Don’t forget about the dessert: role play, discussion club, problem solving task, etc.
