I have always thought that I could have learnt more in the past if I might have relied on viewing clips and short videos in my English classes as a learner. Hopefully, our learners can see a lot of documents online and there are a lot of Youtube channels which can help teachers develop great and interesting lessons. Some channels are free and they can develop their listening skills while learning new idioms or new words.
This teacher's guidebook can help us think about better ways for implementing our lessons. It was presented by David Deubelbeiss who is involved in providing support and lessons for Elt learners and also ELT teachers.

If we teach English or any foreign language we are also aware of the importance of engagement while learning.
For this reason I think that Shelly Terrell who is an expert in using technology has some interesting ideas about using Video Projects while doing also English.
Our students live in a digitalized world and use many apps and smartphones. We should take advantage of these tools - some are free and thus we could also use video creations for using the English Language in a meaningful way.
Students will learn how to choose images and music, they will be focussed on a specific topic and will try to make their own presentations. They will work together and they will develop their digital skills while having fun.

Some ideas and topics for Video Making in ELT:
- creating an advertisement for a product for students studying Business English
- an interview with a famous artist or a singer
- presenting a book you have read in English
- presenting your town / your country in English
- presenting your lesson about a grammar topic - students can revise what they have learnt
- creating a story in English
- creating a lesson about history or literature in English
- making a video to present a project
