The document discusses effective use of video resources in English language teaching (ELT) virtual classrooms. It examines different types of video resources that can be used, such as animated videos, role play videos, and videos blending traditional and technology-based teaching methods. The author advocates that video resources should support teaching objectives and not overtake the lesson. Short, targeted videos are most effective. Post-viewing tasks like vocabulary exercises, reading comprehension, grammar practice, role plays, and translation can help students learn from the video. A variety of online sources to find suitable video content are also provided.
