Here are 16 short films and videos I’ve been using for the past few years in my classes and which have worked well with teenagers (at least in my context!) The selection includes different types of video content, but they all provide such unique contexts that any lesson or task we design around them will help to make that skill or specific language area we’re practising a little bit more stimulating and engaging. Their flexibility is another advantage, since we can use the videos both to suit different levels and to adapt them to meet specific learning objectives. It is difficult to keep up wi ..read more

In this activity, the students learn to write simple definitions of nouns in English. My students needed some work on this for their history lessons, and I thought blending a structured approach with a touch of creative writing, word formation and wordplay could be a good idea. This might be good practice for mastering the different components of a definition before attempting more formal terms related to geography and history.
