Television and video English language lesson
Because television, unlike radio, is a visual medium, it adds
another dimension to the learning experience.
I think always to listen and to see something at the same
time is useful, particularly if some students find it easier to
learn through visual things and other students find it
easier to learn through hearing. If you can get the
combination of the two, then that is particularly helpful.

Using television and video in the classroom provides variety and interest for the lesson. Many students enjoy watching
television in the classroom. It‘s something which they like to do in their own time and to have that activity brought in to the
classroom is motivating for them.
Virtually any kind of programme can be used in the classroom. What is important is that the tasks the students are given
are appropriate and suitable for their level. In some countries, national and local television stations put out specialist
educational programmes on a whole range of subjects. Even if you can’t find material locally, you may be able to access
international satellite or cable channels that broadcast educational material. It is not only programmes designed for schools
that can be used. Many teachers use feature films, documentaries, the news and so on as sources of classroom material.
