Review paper

As English Professors we are able to engage our imagination so that the characters in the literature we teach come alive.  We chuckle at Don Quixote as he mistakes the windmills for giants.  The entertaining novel by Cervantes tickles our funny bone, but most of our students prefer the comedic exploits of Chris Rock over the misfit antics of the antiquated hero penned by Cervantes.  There is a unanimous “Amen” when we English Professors anguish over the challenges of trying to engage our students with the musings of Macbeth.   How can we make Shakespeare come alive, be more relevant, or even more easily understood for our college students?  Between the lectures, grading papers and student conferences it can be challenging to find material to enhance the classroom experience for our World Literature students.  Thankfully, there are many creative souls out there who have put their collective thoughts into designing and producing visuals that are much better than anything we might produce in our spare time.  Why re-invent the wheel when the extra elements needed to visually enhance the literature we are teaching are available on YouTube?  Once we have considered the dynamics of our college literature class, we need to investigate the extra elements available to us on YouTube, then we can determine how we can incorporate those elements into our own college literature classes. Not only literature but for teaching language and grammar we have you tube videos to make our understanding come alive.

Key words: Dynamics, Learning, Teaching, videos, Flipped class room, language acquisition, You Tube
