Multimedia presentations
 Video AND AUDIO materials
 Using fragments of video and audio recordings, we stimulate
the child's visual and auditory centers, which in turn affect
the process of learning and memorizing the material.

 The use of audio and video materials makes the lesson

interesting for all students, increases the level of motivation
to learn a foreign language, gives the opportunity to work
with authentic samples of a foreign language. Compared to
audiotext, the video is more vital - you can not only hear but
also see the speakers, their facial expressions and gestures,
as well as receive information in a broad context about what
is happening - the place of action, age of participants, etc.
