Since from IPIK, I have ever think about using music video which is not related to education in ESL classroom. It would be fun and interesting if I could manipulate any video from pupils' favourite artist as the teaching aid. But I am always stuck on how to manipulate the content of the video to suits the topic in the lesson. At first, I will eagerly choose any interesting music video to be analyze, but it will end with disappointment when I could not come out with appropriate idea to be used in language classroom.
The task where we have to use Michael Jackson's video music, 'The Earth Song' quite helping in solving my problem. Through the process of completing the task, I have learned lots of skills and aware of what to be considered when using such video in the classroom. Discussion with some friends had given me a better idea and opinions about manipulating thousands of interesting music video as a teaching aids to teach foreign language.
Besides the excellent ideas that we could think, we also need to acquire certain internet skills and knowledge in order to make it real. Since the real purpose is to teach language in primary pupils, we have to do extra work of omitting and adding certain features from the original video so that it would not classify as ineffective material. Considering the time demand, again, I think teachers could have difficulty in giving commitment towards preparing such amazing teaching aids as time will be the major problem.
However, since it could attract pupils attention and help them in acquiring English language better, spending more time could be the most gracious sacrifice of a teacher. Right? Choice is in your hand! Hopefully in future, we will be in the group of teachers who manage to benefits the students in learning.
