This document discusses using video clips to enhance English language learning for speaking, listening, and pronunciation. It describes how videos can be used both in and outside of class, providing models for learners. It introduces the concept of "flip teaching", which moves lectures outside of class and allows more hands-on learning in class. Examples are given of homemade instructional videos created for language learning, including videos on making s'mores and telling a story in the past tense. Benefits discussed include allowing more review time and collaborative learning opportunities for students.
