Great María Inés! I usually include short sections of movies in my classes, I think they are motivating and an excellent way of learning while having a good time. I'm a big fan of your work with movies! (oh and it was also nice to SEE you after all our exchanges via FB!). Talk to you soon =) Barbara
Thank you for your comment, trabelsiamel! I´m sure you´ll do a wonderful job. There are so many resources out there for us to make a difference. If you are interested in finding more ideas, ELT Goes To The Movies has plenty. Don´t hesitate to contact me if you need any help. Bye for now. = )
I love the 'silent way' for movie lessons - body language is fascinating & really gets students guessing, engaged and curious. We can also frame the language they would need to learn very easily.
your movie is very effective - short & sweet, just like the mini-clips you recommend
Thank you for your comment, Silvers! I feel so proud you like it. Most teachers think that using movies is just another way to practise listening comprehension. We know better. = )
I think this is a terrific way to absorb language Maria Ines. Context is everything and I've found that when you are trying so hard to remember the words, you don't always remember to pick up on the non verbal clues which are a vital aid to both the language and the tone of the conversation - really promotes active listening.
Thank you, David! It´s true, we need to be aware of students are exposed to a mixture of language and gestures, a combination of situational language and “spontaneous conversation”. Therefore, they are asked to decode linguistic and paralinguistic messages.
Just wish to say your video is astounding. The clarity in it is simply cool and I can assume you're an expert on this subject. Thanks a million and please carry on the gratifying work.

I just came across this... thanks for the quick video - using videos with the sound off looks like a great starting point for many activities! Thanks!
I´m so glad you like the idea! It certainly works with my students. Thanks for your comment, globalenglishforbusiness!
I've used the idea in class and it came up trumps. The students just love it.
