The Clips bank is a work in progress. The aim is to compile a large number of links to useful, notable, or perhaps just entertaining clips on video sharing sites.
YouTube is an international medium which can be used to find videos that are relevant to learners’ backgrounds, cultures and tastes. The most engaging lessons will be the ones that we plan around the clips that students connect with most or actually choose themselves.
I have tried to offer as diverse a range of multicultural video clips as possible. Inevitably however, most of these will be rooted in western culture and media.
For these reasons, the Clips Bank would work best as a collaboration with other teachers and this is a possibility for the future.
