Key teaching principles to

online…

Comprehensible Input…

Krashen’s “rules”…

•  Input should be understandable
•  Input should be interesting
•  Input should be authentic
•  Input should be a lot!....

Comprehensible Input…
(Filter your videos and vocabulary by level)

Authentic Content…
(literally THOUSANDS of interesting choices!...)

Content Is King
Authentic Content…
(working together with some amazing companies!)

Using YouTube for
Authentic Videos?

Personalized Learning…
(Choosing just the topics you like/are interested in

(Save your favorite words and videos for later study)

(Detailed tracking of pronunciation problems & progress)

Scaffolding Tools…
(Support in many languages)

(Captioning, Repeat Function, Voice Speed Controls)

(clickable dictionary with sample sentences and pronunciation)

Corpus Analysis….
(of every word and phoneme in every video!)

Vocabulary Building…
(Flashcards contextualized in authentic videos)

(multiple aspects of word knowledge built over time)

Definition matching… Cloze testing…

Spelling practice…

(Spaced-repetition system does detailed tracking every session)

7. “Noticing the Gap”

‘what learners notice in input is what becomes intake for learning’ (Schmidt, 1995).

“Noticing the Gap”

1)  Listen to authentic English

2)  Record your voice

3)  Get instant feedback and
“notice the gap”

“Noticing the Gap”
(compare at the word level, analysis at phoneme level)

3 Approaches To Using
Video In The Classroom
1.  Blending video into the existing curriculum and course.
Thus, the teacher is blending the learning – combining traditional print
(textbooks) with the power of video. Videos are blended into and are part of
the official course curriculum.
2. Using only video and online learning (the Flipped classroom)
Students could learn on EnglishCentral and the teacher could use class time
to review their progress, check and evaluate.
Teachers might also use print materials made specifically for the videos (like
the EnglishCentral workbooks).
3. Using video as a supplement for engagement or re-inforcement.
Videos are used only at the beginning of a or as supplemental material for
the lesson (either inclass or as homework). However, the videos are not part
of the official curriculum.

vocabulary study!

Our Philosophy
“I think about ninety percent of the problem in
teaching, or maybe ninety-eight percent, is just to
help the students get interested.”

Noam Chomsky

“The best methods are therefore those that supply
‘comprehensible input’ in low anxiety
situations, containing messages that students really
Stephen Krashen want to hear.”

“Learning from context is so important that
some studies suggest that first language learners
learn most of their vocabulary in this way.”
Paul Nation

Testimonials
“In my opinion, English Central was far and away
the best new EFL / ESL site this year.”
Jeffrey Hill – The English Blog

I personally think it’s the best site period for
English Language Learners. It provides listening,
speaking, and reading practice — all in an
extremely engaging way…
