As soon as you input the answer, you get a popping JavaScript message box, which tells you whether the answer is correct or not. The message box offers no explanatory comment whatsoever. The content of each question too is very similar, concerning just one small word or phrase uttered in the movie and requiring the correct identification of the word from about four choices. The learner has to concentrate only on the missing word and try to identify it from the available choices. As a listening task, this seems to be challenging and at the same time manageable.
Students can feel a sense of accomplishment after completing each task.
Besides by guessing the missing word, learners can improve their listening skills by following the transcribed dialog. Since instant replay, as well as the English transcript, is available, they can listen repeatedly until they can decipher the spoken utterances without the aid of the transcript. Although the primary purpose of this site is to help learners improve their listening skills, it also offers a variety of idiomatic and grammatical expressions, which learners can observe as they are used in context. For example, students can learn how to make offers, how to say good-byes, how and when to use subjunctives, conditionals, rhetorical questions, and so on. In fact, Sato seems to have selected the clips primarily as examples of such grammatical and idiomatic constructions.
