How to enliven ELT classes


    By no means should a teacher refrain from incorporating a video into a lesson if there exists such an opportunity. It is a terrific aid that genuinely enlivens classroom atmosphere and provides visual contexts for authentic language pieces, which beyond all doubt, are two of the most important aspects in language teaching. Furthermore, the students can be easily encouraged to watch English programs and films on their own if they are introduced to it in the classroom environment.
    The future of video use appears to be very bright when it comes to foreign language teaching. I hope that soon every single class will be equipped with an appropriate hardware, at least a video and a television set and then of course, these will be sacrificed for another interactive media players, namely, DVD (Digital Video Disk).
    The “youth of today” is raised in the era of movies and computers where audiovisual interaction is of great importance. Thus, my prediction that the use of video in the foreign language teaching environment will or at least should evolve.
