ESL Videos is a platform providing a collection of educational videos tailored for English language learners. Users can explore a variety of videos covering different topics, including grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and cultural aspects. They can also create their own teaching materials, such as quizzes based on YouTube videos. All videos are categorised according to the levels, starting from beginning (A1) to advanced (C1), making it easy to find suitable materials. Check an example with a video and a quiz here.
Evaluation: ESL Video is a useful tool since it uses real-world videos to help students work on their listening comprehension skills. Examples of videos are news excerpts, educational and inspiring talks, music videos or short clips from movies and series. Through quizzes, learners can also check their understanding and work on their grammar skills. Teachers can access materials shared by other teachers and create class codes for their videos so that they can see their students’ results. They can also create their own class page so to gather all of their videos in one place. For more information see the user’s guide.
Cost: Free without registration.
