Vocab Boosting Videos

Vocab Boosting Videos are short, content rich videos that can be used to bridge experience gaps, assess prior knowledge and build vocabulary and understanding around a specific setting or activity. An example of one of these is a ‘Trip to Space’ – by combining carefully selected videos and images the video helps to show hot it might feel to visit space. This sort of experience is immersive for both EAL learners and none EAL learners and can lead to exciting conversation prior or writing. The videos come with questions and prompts that can be used before, during and after watching the video clip. They are perfect as pre-writing scaffolds.
