Welcome to Shel Silverstein WORDLESS VIDEOS FOR ELT – ELT-CATION ELT-cation is turning 3 years old this month. And that takes the cake. Or a new post. Last year I posted a few games to celebrate the occasion (see Play & Learn Games); this year I’ve decided to throw a “movie night” party and share my favourite wordless videos. These films are: short (about 2-4 minutes) highly engaging, and appropriate for learners of all levels. Such films can be used to warm up the class before your lesson begins, during the lesson – you may tie them into your lesson topic or use them to give your students a break – or at the end of class to assign a “mission” to your students (read more in READY FOR A ONE-MINUTE MISSION?). One film that is sure to break the ice and make your students give their eye teeth for yet another lesson with you is Teeth by John Kennedy & Ruairí O’Brien Trapped – A film by Joe J. The film is ideal for problem-solving sessions. Everything will be okay in the end. Unless they fall into a black hole. The Black Hole – A film by Future Shorts. Like this:

When the significance of Covid-19 became more apparent, teachers everywhere began to wonder and respond with what they could in the moments they were given.
