22 Frames - Captioned Video

A new site that displays video content with subtitled/captioned video from a variety of sources (Youtube etc.). It is still, as the developers say, a work in progress. It has been designed for ESL students and native speakers with hearing difficulties. To have a look (hear) click here.

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:
