The uses of the courseware are limited only by the imagination of the teacher. The ideas listed below are a few of those envisaged or carried out so far. Although the suggestions are quite specific, the role of the video software is always to enhance vocabulary and comprehension of a clip, and to provide the basis for using language learned from the clip. Classroom language teaching Students watch a clip from the video. Questions and discussion follow.
Students attempt the video software unit, with teacher on hand to answer questions and difficulties.
The Lesson ends with a review. This approach combines the advanatges of using the software with the presence of the teacher to answer questions software cannot provide. Students watch one or more short clips, with classroom discussion and explanations led by the teacher, based on the workbook exercises. This approach allows teachers to use precious teaching time to its best advantage, leaving other tasks to computer software. Prior to a classroom session, students are instructed to prepare a clip in advance by means of the video-based software and workbook, with use of the dialogue exercise emphasized.
