The video I am sharing is from a series of Grammar tutorials from Oxford English Now. The videos are so helpful and this teacher is fantastic. Her explanations are easy to understand, and at the end of every video, she gives you a little test to check if you understood the concepts. I found them super useful when I needed to review Grammar. I know for a fact that you will find the videos useful too.
The video I want to show you is about Linguistic Variation. I found this series in my search to understand concepts for a subject called Functional Linguistics. I like the teacher in the video, his knowledge in this field is great, and the way he uses storytelling to explain concepts is fantastic. Thanks to these videos I managed to pass this challenging subject. I hope you find them useful as I did.
I have decided to share this podcast because it is a discussion about language and the mind, I usually listen to this podcast while I am cooking and tidying up at home. It is one of the most important podcasts from BBC 4, it is called “In our time history”. In this radio program, they always have interesting topics to discuss. The presenter is well informed and the guests are usually professors from famous universities in the U.K, writers and philosophers. This kind of podcast is useful for practising listening skills and I would recommend it to every English student who wants to improve their comprehension. Since I started listening to this podcast, I think my listening has improved a lot, now I need to pick up more vocabulary to use in my daily conversations.
I would like to share this video because it has been useful for my studies, especially in this situation where all the learning happens online. This video is from the BBC Learning English series, it is called “Study Skills-Better Learning”. I have seen every video from the series and I always come back to watch them again because they give so many good recommendations and tips on how to study productively.
I always recommend the website to my classmates because there are a lot of activities, videos, quizzes and new grammar to practise and revise. Also, the teachers are fun and they have different accents from all over the United Kingdom.
I would like to show you this video because thanks to this teacher I have managed to pass my course in Phonetics and Phonology. In this lesson, the teacher explained connected speech and how we can improve our pronunciation. The explanation is great and makes me realise that English is a stress-time language and that was the most important information I needed. I hope you enjoyed the video.
This is a video on Syntactic Function in Present Days English. The teacher prepared a really useful tutorial, it was great at the time when I needed it to review for my exams. Thanks to all these videos I managed to pass my exams and they are great to come back and have a look again anytime.
