Ben Goldstein, author of Eyes Open and co-author of Language Learning with Digital Video, looks at the most popular online video genres of the moment, analysing the influence they have on students' own video projects. He shows practical examples of students' work and looks at how the structure, organisation and language of these clips can be made accessible to learners and how it helps inform their work.
