Nowadays, the use of youtube has increase around the world, specially, with the appearance of the "youtubers". For that reason, this article provides 15 different youtube channels for learning English. These channels can be used by teachers and students. For instance, teachers can use content from these videos in order to enrich and vary your lessons, and students can explore this channels in order to expose themselves to native language and authentic material.

This article provides essencial infomation for me as an English teacher in development due to the fact that it exposes 15 different youtube channels for learning English. First, these channels contain different information that I can include in my future lessons. Besides, they have authentic material which sometimes is difficult to find. Finally, these sources give me the possibility to teach English in a different and innovative way.

I find this article very helpful to all of us who are constantly users of youtube and english learners. Youtube channels are an amazing free source for learning. You can watch videos in your free times, while you are cooking, or doing other things. There are many youtube channels with different methodologies and content, but all of them have the same objective: teaching English.

From my personal experience youtube channels have helped me a lot in learning languages in a fun way, free, whenever you want. I sincerely recommend everyone to use them.

One of the basic strategies ESL teachers abroad soon learn, unless they like doing things the hard way all the time, is where the best online teaching resources are (and how to use them).

wanderingsalsero's comment, June 29, 2015 3:00 PM
I think one of the challenges for teachers finding effective tools is 'finding tools that resemble something the students already like to do'. And what are the kids doing now: It's social media. That's why I think this tool that I found a few days ago is so cool and I plan in integrating it into the website I'm setting up. I've got my domain and everything: http://wanderingsalsero.gfriend.com . I was introduced to the owner of the company by a fellow I used to do some writing for and I'll be talking to him tonight to get more information about their planned expansion of the modules on the site but, considering it's all free anyway, even what they've got right now is very valuable.
wanderingsalsero's curator insight, July 6, 2015 7:25 PM

As I delve more and more into online ESL resources I have yet to see anything that compares to the gFriend concept. Not only does it address the immediate needs a the larger number of students (i.e. free, basic, and easily accessible) but it's just plan fun. The people I've given the site access to all say they love it. They're available here:

Extremely Important resource! The above resource had given me an insight into all the beneficial digital tool that educators could use to reach all stages of the SAMR model. One resource, in particular, caught my eye, YoutTube. Through a further investigation into how I could utilise YouTube in my classroom, I discovered, that students can upload their assessment pieces, or even class tasks, onto this platform. Youtube, is possibly the best resource for education, as it has various privacy settings, which allow students to upload their work privately while also allowing their teacher and peers to review their uploaded work.
Additionally, youtube is great as it will enable the Educator to create a class page, in which all students have access too, and can upload assessment work. Aside from this feature, students will also have the opportunity to comment on their peers' posts, proving collaboration. Lastly, YouTube is a fantastic resource, as it allows students to practice the redefinition level of the SAMR model.

Thinking of all students capabilities is essential! Educators need to consider the possibility that they may encounter a student with learning disabilities or special needs. Educators, when faced with this situation need to always have a modified assessment plan that is suited to the students learning needs. 
Additionally, a mini-unit needs to be developed for students who have learning disabilities, so that they are able to pass the course, through the use of digital pedagogies.

For learning English it is supposed to be exposed as much as possible to meaningful and real contexts. Virtual Reality (VR) can change dramatically the way people learn english daily, with some hours of real interaction people will feel completely inmersed in a world where English is the communication. People should try this out for getting with new results.

YouTube hosts a treasure trove of excellent educational content that speaks to the learning needs of a wide variety of audiences. Some of this content is created by dedicated teachers and educators who took it upon themselves to promote learning beyond the traditional walls of their classrooms. For instance, in the area of English language learning, there are numerous language teachers (including EFL and ESL) who have set their own YouTube channels and provide video lessons covering almost everything related to language learning. Today's post highlights some of these channels. The purpose is to provide language teachers with relevant video resources that they can use in their instruction in class. Check out the list below and share with us your feedback in our Facebook page.

This is a wonderful map that truly shows language families and their roots. In Europe, I was rather surprised when I seen that the Romance branch was much larger than that of the Germanic. All of the ancient Germanic groups such as the Jutes, Angols, and the Saxons were well versed in combat. Considering they conquered much of Western Europe, how is it that the Romance group is bigger than the Germanic? Also, in Eastern Europe, the Albanian language has no reason to exist. In a region dominated by the Slavic group with no environmental barriers, the Albanian language should not exist.~Ethan.
