El-Mumtaaz Videos with Subtitles

Teachers: Since videos in this textbook are presented for instruction and sometimes for assessment purposes, teachers are highly recommended to start with the version with no subtitles to challenge the students. They can present this using the standard practice of two rounds of listening and watching: the first to absorb the main idea/s and the second to identify more specific information. In cases where some of these videos are too challenging, the teachers can use the subtitled versions and draw the learners’ attention to the annotations/notes provided, both linguistic and cultural.

Students: Students are recommended to start with the version with no subtitles and address the questions presented. In cases where some of these videos are too challenging, students can use the subtitled versions and pay attention to the annotations/notes provided, both linguistic and cultural.
