Using Original Video and Sound Effects to Teach English

Technologies have more function to teach language. Teaching language skills though mechanical exercises and traditional fill in the blank doesn't interest students. A well known way to create meaningful context for teaching English is through media.

Media can be integrated into language lesson in a variety of ways by developing activities bases on radio programs, television shows, newspapers, and video. Some educator integrates television into English as Second/ Foreign Language <ESL/EFL>. Radio programs are all an excellent source for teaching. Radio can bring authentic content to the classroom. Video can also integrate into lesson. When teaching the video lesson, students can learn other skills such as listening, writing, vocabulary, and grammar.

All of media can integrate to teach English. There are useful for students to learn and motivate them to study. Also, students are more interested in learning English lesson. When I’m English teacher, I will choose these media to apply into the lesson because it can help to teach students more efficient.
