Overview

The EnglishCentral activity module allows teachers to include EnglishCentral video activities in their Moodle courses. EnglishCentral lets you teach English from a library of over 12,000 videos.

 

 

Each video lesson features a video player that shows a short video clip from EnglishCentral.com. After watching a video, students can do fill-in-the-blank activities with vocabulary from the video. They can also practice speaking lines from the video, and will receive a score for how closely their pronunciation matches the original. The scores for the vocabulary and speaking activities are then stored in the Moodle gradebook. Later, the teacher can view details of the students' scores on the report page.
