Short video (5 minutes) with study tips. Not necessarily new but I got some ideas about activities that have students "teach" the material. Level 5 & Level 6 students might be able to watch and understand. Would be a good session intro video / ideas to work into (I know, we tell these to our students 100 times and they don't listen...maybe if they see a video on it from someone else & then is teacher reinforced, it might stick better?)

Fun wordless cute video. Student could describe the video in writing / speaking or whatever other creative activities you can think of doing with it.

Grammar videos from the British Council. Short and explanatory...might be really useful for those of you who are semi-flipping.

Using next Saturday! Thanks, love British Council's resources.

NBC News has a ton of short (2-5 minute) videos on a wide variety of subjects (the brain, natural disasters, nanotechnology, the planet, etc.) For native speakers but probably useful for our higher levels. Could be a good resource for those of your looking for short video clips to go with the Pathways topics.

Op-docs is a series of video interviews (some animated, some filmed, whatever) that are, obviously, opinion pieces. They're not terrible long (from about 5 minutes to 15 minutes) and cover a wide variety of topics. They would probably be a good resource for Level 5 and 6 teachers. The speaking, while mostly native speakers, was not incredibly fast. They also could be used as resources for combining ideas from multiple resources.

Funny video good for lower level students to watch and describe

Books and short videos on presentation skills and how to avoid "Death by Powerpoint"

A collection of links for various educational videos -- there might be some of interest for your classes, especially afternoon classes.

Allows you to take a video, crop it to just the sections you need, and then record a voice over if you'd like, or to embed questions at various points during the video. Looks very promising!

A large variety of short videos to provoke discussion or debate on controversial topics. Good resources for Levels 5 & 6. Take a look! "How Islam Began -- in Under 10 Minutes" could be a interesting view.

Cute video students could watch and describe. Good for lower levels; very visual.

Hi, this Ted video is excellent and relates perfectly to the Pathways 4 Chapter 2 L/S part on Chernobyl. Monica

Very cool sight with videos and short lessons explaining various skills -- summarizing, inferring, etc. For native speakers but I think Level 5 & 6 would be fine with it. Thanks Joy!
