Video sites





Video sites are featuring more in my classes. This is due to a timetabled session in an IT suite. We are able to use listening sites and video. It's interesting to wee which students like using video sites. They turn on their machines and plug in the headphones. Within minutes Jose is logged onto a music video site and is singing the words out of tune. “At least it is in English”, I reassure myself. Pavel is watching a short film which has been sent him from his country. He calls me over to watch it with him. I am drawn to it, but know I must attend to the class. He is immersed in it. He keeps playing the film over and over again. It seems he is day dreaming, but at the same time attached to the screen by an invisible cord.
