V. Demonstration of Educational Value

(Click to view the article: "Teacher-World Application of ESLvideo.com" by Sharon Yoneda, ESL
Instructor from Vancouver Community College in Vancouver, Canada)
As mentioned earlier, ESL video is useful in education because it allows teachers to provide quizzes to
students, and send and receive quiz results. There are various links throughout the ESL video website.
These links provide common areas of trouble that quizzes give ESL students that teachers should take
advantage of to be able to test the students for spelling, word meaning, sounds, grammar, and to check for
fluency in the English language. Other links give "how-to" videos, a few of which we have provided above,
for teachers on how to actually use the ESL video. This provides videos for creating quizzes, sending quiz
results, and even sending quizzes to students. ESL video also provides the learners with more links to other
ESL learning sites. For teachers, these links include some ideas for incorporating the videos into lesson
plans, and there are links for the learners to receive access to online teachers/tutors,different online videos,
listening and grammar activities, books, software podcasts, online courses, and various ESL social networks.

Another great thing about ESL video is that teachers have the ability to assign videos and quizzes with
varying degrees of difficulty. The levels include beginning, low-intermediate, intermediate, and high-
intermediate. These can as questions as simple as filling in a word or phrase used in the video, or as difficult
as choosing the right word that makes the sentence grammatically correct, based on what was watched in the
video. This would include using homophones such as then or than, there, their, or they're, and even your or
you're. The quizzes also provide answers that are extremely similar but may have a prefix or suffix
difference, for example: "He did not believe the information" versus "He did not believed the information."
So teachers in various grade levels can really test their ESL students on the knowledge they really need to
know. #3 #4
