Introduction
The on-line multimedia resources allow teachers to easily integrate multimedia materials into the classroom.
However, these materials are often used in ways that leave ultimate control over content with the instructor, diminishing student agency in the process of learning
Video & Language Learning
communicative approach in language learning "a process of developing the ability to do things with
language as opposed to learning about language" (Nunan, 1988, p. 78)
tasks should simulate the skills necessary for communicating outside the classroom
Video & Language Learning
Socio constructivist approach to learning, learning is a process of knowledge construction rather
than a process of knowledge transmission instruction is a process of scaffolding knowledge
construction rather than of transmitting knowledge. Learning tasks should be contextualised and
purposeful for the learner contextual learning demands meaningful real-world
tasks
