Videos in Class

The History of English in Ten Minutes offered by The Open University is an entertaining romp through "the History of English" - 1600 years of history in 10 one-minute bites, about the sources of English words and phrases from Shakespear to America and the Internet. There are ten short series and one combined clip containing all the parts. This source could be quite interesting and useful for a certain group of students.
