Hello friends,
I am back again with a new tool which gives us a chance to make interactive lessons. This week i have explored the app called FluentU which submits real-life examples from english language and culture to the learners. Let's go into particulars!
FluentU is partly free for its users and it has various payment options ranging from $8 to $18 per month. The app is ready on AppStore.
Morever, FluentU includes real-life videos such as commercials, news, music clips, inspiring talks. Learners have an opportunity to access daily spoken language and culture through its natural design.
Here is a screenshot of listed videos in any topic.

After you create your own account, you can explore video library.
You can use hover dictionary to acquire new words.
You can control subtitles according to your purpose.
You see, simple as it is!
Words are also kept on track and learners can confront with them in different contexts at any time, which makes the app useful.

For example, after exploring the food&drinks unit, you can invite your students into an english restaurant! Firstly, introduce the topic by using an appropriate real-life scene from the video library.
Learners should visit a restaurant and then, give their orders in english by taking into consideration the expressions in the video, so the teacher can build both listening and speaking skills of her learners. Also, a discussion can be organized about the meal between groups later. Afterwards, a writing activity can be done by using the core words concerned on the unit. Students can learn basic grammar structures such as like&dislike and giving their opinions.
Enjoy! :)
