Abstract
If you’re using a video to teach English, it can be tempting to simply put the video on and hope that it makes sense to the students. Especially for lower-level learners (CEFR A0-B1), this is not appropriate. The video could overwhelm them and make them think that they really don’t know any English at all, simply because it was made for native speakers and contains rapid, high-level speech. You’ll want to make sure that you have a specific ESL learning objective in mind for the video section itself. Making a concrete goal for the video will simplify things so that the students know they are not expected to understand everything in the video.
