Jennifer is careful to include many real-life usage examples in her videos, which tend to be longer and more detailed than the other videos mentioned on the above sites-a plus for students who are aficionados of formal grammar instruction. There are 65 video lessons for beginners and an almost equal number of videos with detailed grammar explanations and practice for intermediate and advanced students. If you go to her website, you will be directed to a playlist of her YouTube videos that offer in-depth explanations and examples of almost every conceivable grammar point. I routinely assign this site’s grammar exercises for homework to supplement the classroom textbook and for in-class controlled practice.Įnglish With Jennifer (opens in new window)Īnother great source of instructional videos are the ones posted by Jennifer on YouTube. I especially like the fact the site focuses on the negative, the yes/no question, and the information question forms of all verb tenses, and provides ample opportunities for students to practice these nettlesome facets of our grammar. The explanatory text for each verb tense is divided helpfully into separate sections for “form” and for “use.” These are followed by grammar exercises that students can select for self-study. This charming British website offers very lively and clear grammar explanations, and is especially helpful for understanding the usage of the different verb tenses.

The short videos are a big draw: By hitting “replay,” students can listen to an experienced ESL teacher explain a troublesome grammar point over and over again. These homespun videos are followed by examples and quizzes that students can use to practice the grammar point. Each lesson is introduced by a short, explanatory video. It includes seven color-coded levels of instruction. One of my highly motivated students introduced our class to this website this semester.
