Videos and other useful Web 2.0 tools

      Videos have become one of the main ways information is presented to us. We watch them on TV and in our computers on a daily basis. Their uses and purposes are almost unlimited. All this constitutes an advantage that we, as teachers, should exploit in EFL contexts. The use of this Web 2.0 tool in classroom activities in order to present some pieces of news, interviews with English native speakers, documentaries, and the like, guaranties that learners are exposed to authentic English samples that are very difficult for EFL teachers to create or emulate, and that are crucial if we want our students to truly become proficient in this language.
