"I see there being very different uses of videos, and I think it's helpful to clarify the differences with different terms so people don't forget that both are possibilities. I may have lost that battle as \"MovieTalk\" gets applied (almost only) to using short videos among TPRS teachers now. Actually, while Ashley Hastings designed the approach with the use of full-length films, I think (going from memory) that he referred to using short videos in his website, too. So maybe I've got a hang-up about terms needlessly. But I really like \"original\" MovieTalk with upper levels, using a whole film and doing far less sheltering of vocabulary - using all they know to describe scenes and retell dialogue more simply.\nIn my mind, the terms are:\nVideo and Discuss, normally called \"MovieTalk\" now - use of short video clips. Repetitive videos are great for this. Works for all levels. You can easily shelter vocabulary and introduce a few new pieces of language with these.\n\"original\" MovieTalk - use of full-length films (often from the target culture). Each scene is viewed twice, once with sound on, once with sound off. On the second pass, teacher describes, narrates, and asks a few questions of the students before moving to the next scene. Better with upper levels, for me year 3 &amp; 4.\nJudy DuBois has a third video option which she called \"Very Narrow Listening\" in iJFLT just published. You allow experienced students to work with hearing a short section of a longer film you are using. With some reading techniques and re-listening, they hear the original soundtrack, which initially may have not sounded comprehensible at all. That's my weak summary - I recommend her article. I want to try it with some key scenes in the movies I'll use in level three &amp; four later this school year, as an intensive piece while we do \"original\" MovieTalk with a couple of films. I'll pick scenes with almost only already-comprehensible language, but at speeds too fast for students to catch from regular listening."
