These videos show the viewers how to cook a variety of dishes. They list the ingredients and offer a step by step guide through the cooking process, much like an audio-visual cook book. Although the full spoken script isn’t shown in the form of subtitles, the key words are displayed. This is sufficient scaffolding for pre-intermediate learners to follow what is already a fairly limited language task. The main language focus being the (imperative) verbs of action. See the following link for information about the imperative: http://www.englishlanguageguide.com/english/grammar/imperative.asp
The videos also include key vocabulary directly related to the dish being made.
Pre-teaching of recipe specific items may be useful before watching the video. However, one task for stronger students might be to make a list of unfamiliar vocabulary while they watch the video. This list can be shared and checked before watching for a second time, perhaps with the aim of reporting the recipe and cooking process to partners, after the second viewing.
