1.Big Think - http://bigthink.com/ Go to the ‘topics’ part of the site at: http://bigthink.com/topics select a topic and a video. Ask your students to watch the video, make a summary of the main points and then list some of their own opinions on the topic. When they come to class they can then debate the topic in groups.
Big Think- http://bigthink.com/topics I have chosen a topic "Art&Culture" and a video "How wine can help your career?" I think this video is suitable for students from forms 11-12. This video is interesting but it is not easy. Students are interested in a career and sport. The title of the video is confused. What I mean is that the word "wine" is provocative because there are (it is not a secret) some students who use alcohol drinks. In my mind, a teacher has to be attentive in selection of a video .(Score3) Next stage is to make a summary and list some of students' opinion on the topic. For my students it could be a problem because they start using mother tongue not English during their discussion. They also have to watch and listen to the video several times in order to understand the content because I.Krush (chess champion) talks very fast.(Score 2) Last stage is a discussion on a topic in the classroom. Mostly, strong students might speak and weaker students do not speak at all or use mother tongue.(Score2).

Go to the ‘latest’ section of Dotsub at: http://dotsub.com/view/latest/ find a video that hasn’t been transcribed. Ask your students to listen to the video and transcribe it in English or translate it into their own language. They can then register and add their translation / transcription to the site, or wait for the video to be transcribed and compare to their own version.
Dotsub - http://dotsub.com/view/latest There I have found a video -documentary "Be a man". I think this task is suitable for my students. They can listen to the text of the video and translate it into Latvian.(Score 3)However, to do this task they have to understand humor of other nationalities , they have to know idioms. There might be misunderstanding of some jokes or phrases. Another difficulty is grammar structures students have to use. Students can compare their translations in small groups. But written text must be grammatically correct.(Score3) So a teacher has to check students' work before publishing their translation. I think this task is absolutely new for my students so they could be motivated in doing this activity.

Go to http://langolab.com and find a suitable video for your students to watch. Ask them to watch it and make notes of any new vocabulary words. They can get definitions of words by clicking on the words in the transcript.
As to the http://langolab.com/, it can be used to practice pupils speaking skills with someone who speaks the language they're trying to learn, and who is trying to learn their language, unfortunately, I could not open and log in the lab, so I cannot evaluate how it works, but the idea is worth trying.
