The video below is selected from the website Videojug.com, and it presents the festivals and events in the capital city of Canada. Yes, you may got the clue, it is Ottawa!
Good Points and Usage
- This video contains plenty festivals and activities which are special and meaningful in Ottawa, Canada, which are very attractive and interesting.
- With beautiful images and showing real people's activities in Ottawa, Canada, watchers can be easily motivated and attracted, especially for those who have the different cultural backgrounds.
- It is a very short video which I think can be used as warm-up or listening comprehension activity in the class. For example, if the lesson's theme is about 'Festival', then in my opinion, this video can be played at the beginning of the class, as a motivator, stimulation or listening practice, teacher can ask the students to listen for gist or main idea, like how many festivals and activities are mentioned in the video, and what are they? Having finished talking about the video, teacher can motivate students by asking them to think about the festivals in their own country or hometown.
Limitations
- Internet access is the basic requirement.
- To watch this video or use it as a in-class activity, either watchers or students need a higher level proficiency in English, as the introducer speaks in a speedy pace.
- Perhaps, not everyone is interested in the festivals and activities in Ottawa, Canada.
