Abstract

The article covers some aspects of using video materials in teaching English as a foreign language. At every stage of practical training there is a significant set of tasks that ensure successful perception of foreign language by students, which increases their motivation to study a foreign language. Video material as a model for imitation, stimulates interest, expands the knowledge of students about linguistic and cultural characteristics of the target language, and also provides effective material for the subsequent discussions. The use of video in teaching a foreign language opens up wide opportunities for the teachers and students to master the foreign language culture. Video materials take precedence over audio and print resources.
 Visual information allows better understanding and reinforcement of factual information and linguistic features of speech, since visual support contributes to a complete and accurate understanding of meaning by activating attention and memory,promoting development of listening and speaking skills
