Using Language Learning Resources on YouTube

Authors

The internet is an ever growing medium for language learning and teaching resources that offer teachers and students alike an enormous amount of possibilities to practice and apply their foreign language skills. Given this information it is still astonishing how many of these resources that are often free of charge are not being used or even known by many language teachers. While knowing the resources seems to be the first step when it comes to using ICT in the foreign language classroom, knowing how to use them creatively and effectively appears to be the even bigger problem. The author introduces different language learning resources available on YouTube and provides ideas on how to use these resources in the foreign language classroom to train different skills and to enhance the language learning experience. The author argues that for an effective implementation during the language learning process the mere presentation of the resources alone is not enough. Instead the detailed description of tasks and assignments is crucial for a successful application in the classroom. The following questions will be discussed during the presentation: How to search for foreign language learning resources on YouTube? What skills and competencies can be trained? How to successfully incorporate these resources in the foreign language classroom? How can other easy to use applications being used to create valuable task and assignments? How to evaluate the resources? How to figure out which resources my students will like? How to use YouTube for teacher training?
