Video resources: BBC ARCHIVE

By Ana Puerto

I've recently found this BBC website where you can see plenty of videos (clips, interviews...) from years gone by. There are, for example, videos from the 1960's, 1970's or 1980's. If you go on the "Collections" section at the top you will find divided sections, such as "Around the UK"; "Arts and Entertainment"; "Children's"; "Society"; "Food and drink"... So you can select videos on whatever topic you are covering in class. I think these videos are really useful to make students compare past times with their own time, and I have found that the interviews to children from the 60's or 70's are really interesting, as you can see how well they expressed themselves (maybe because they read more?).

Here's the link if you're interested!
