Each video has a list of commonly mispronounced words, slang or idiomatic language. Learners can then hear, and see, them in context, clicking on the words will take you to the approximate time the word is spoken.
Students can watch videos on a variety of topics - Politics, Comedy, Sports and much more.
The site definitely has potential (for homework perhaps) and users can submit video suggestions and upload videos.
If you are interested in using captioned video with your students, here are two papers which provide some ideas:

ReplyDeleteCool idea - at least the jumping to the video part rather than watching the video. Branching out into other types for English terms would be nice.
