1 Prepare Using a video in class involves a lot more than just playing it. After all, the key is to make the
video more than just the video; there always has to be a pedagogical purpose to everything we
do in the classroom. So it’s important for teachers to plan follow-up activities, such as answering
comprehension questions, defining new vocabulary, writing sentences, or completing a T-chart.
Q: Skills for Success offers scaffolded activities like this that have been created with your learners
in mind; however, you can always include a few more activities if your students find a topic
particularly engaging.
2 It’s not just for listening Consider using videos for more than just listening comprehension. You can integrate video expansion
activities into every skill area—reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar, vocabulary, and
pronunciation! The Q: Skills for Success Teaching Notes contain many out-of-the-box ideas for squeezing
every last drop out of a video clip. You might be surprised to learn all the different ways to use videos
in the language classroom that go far beyond the traditional fill-in-the-blank activity.
3 Use the transcript When possible and appropriate, make sure students have the opportunity to read the transcript
as they watch a video. The act of listening while reading is enormously helpful to English learners
because it reinforces sound/spelling correspondence and helps weaker listeners develop bottom-up
listening skills like segmenting speech into words.
4 Flip the classroom Experiment with using videos to flip the classroom. Assign skill videos from Q or those developed
by other teachers online as homework. Make students accountable for watching the video by giving
them a handout that asks questions about things that appear in the video as well as about the skill
itself. Then in class, set aside a little time to address questions before transitioning into interactive
practice activities. Flipping the classroom reduces the amount of teacher talk time and increases the
amount of time that students have for producing the language. As well, struggling students can watch
the skill video again and again until they understand, as opposed to having one chance at hearing the
information in a teacher’s lecture in class. It’s a win-win!
COMMUNICATIVE GRAMMAR
Modeling
Before launching into a communicative activity, it is important to model the activity properly. It is not
enough to merely tell your students what to do, you need to show them how to execute the task. For
example, if the task is to practice question forms and I’ve given my students a list of questions to ask
three other students, and a place to take notes, I would model the activity by having a student join
me up in front of the class while I ask him some of the questions and record the answers. Then I ask
another student to join me and so forth.
It is also important to show your students what they aren’t supposed to do. To use the above example,
it is tempting for students to form a group of four students with one person answering the questions
and the three others recording the answers. This severely limits the amount of language practice the
activity was designed for. And if you don’t want students to look at each other’s papers, such as in an
information gap activity, mime holding your paper close to your chest so students understand that
they are to talk and listen and not read.
Observing
During the communicative grammar activity, it is important to circulate around the room. The purpose
for this is two-fold. First, you want to make sure that all students are participating fully in the activity
and that they are not facing any difficulties. Sometimes students are stuck on the meaning of a word
and this is preventing them from completing the activity. Your attentiveness can Giúp them get
unstuck and proceed. It is also a good opportunity to listen in on how students are using the grammar
being practiced. If you hear a lot of errors, note them down and address them when the activity
has finished.
Being persistent
Finally, it is important to not give up if your first forays with communicative grammar activities are
not as successful as you hoped. Our students come from a variety of educational backgrounds. If
they have had negative English language learning experiences, they bring those instances with them
into our classrooms. Some students may be reticent to speak because errors brought punishment,
belittlement or embarrassment. Others may have just been conditioned to take high-stakes language
exams and have had little opportunity to actually communicate in English. In his excellent book on
student motivation, Dörnyei (2001) describes different strategies that teachers can utilize to overcome
these difficulties. These include making sure that language tasks can be completed successfully by
students, that the activities themselves are fun and relevant, and that the teacher makes the classroom
environment as comfortable as possible for students.
I will never forget the first time I conducted a successful communicative grammar practice activity.
The classroom atmosphere changed completely. My students were smiling and laughing, grateful
for a chance to move around and actively communicate with each other instead of just being passive
listeners. I was thrilled because they were getting vital practice in an enjoyable and meaningful way. I
was also pleased with myself because I hadn’t quit trying to make this moment possible. Yes, successful
communicative grammar activities require a lot of thought and planning on the part of the teacher,
but the dividends are gold. May you and your students experience many of these golden moments.
