I found this footage of one of my favourite philosophers (and Linguists), Noam Chomsky. He is talking about how the resistance to US Neo-liberal economic policies in East Asia, and the rejection of the rules that Washington attempted to impose, allowed the economic boom of a country like South Korea.
The origional video had very bad sound, which I tried to enhance. I also added a title and credits, as well as, a short period of subtitles when he speaks about the example of South Korea (I would have subtitled the whole thing, but, it was taking too long :P ).
I think that being able to easily make videos from authentic content is an invaluable tool for the EFL educator. One can put in subtitles, break up sections so as to easily analyse them, and edit thewhole video to conform to the requirements of a specific activity/task or many tasks.
Seeing as I am currently teaching academic writing the feasability in my teaching is limited, however, I'm sure these video skills will come in handy sooner rather than later.
