Video shows can be used to convey material on various subjects,
such as in English lessons; teachers can present videos discussing how to

make speeches, how to submit English language material or others. So
that the learning process is not only focused on hearing and
understanding, but students become active in seeing, hearing,

understanding, and practicing directly the new things they get.
Here are some advantages of using video as a learning medium:

1) Can record events at once with their voice and can be played
back. Thus past events can be observed again
2) Videos are suitable media for all fields of study and for all grade

levels
3) Video can make in slow motion so that the movements or what

is recorded can be observed really.
Nevertheless, video learning media also has several weaknesses and
obstacles in its use; here are some of the challenges that are often

encountered in its use:
1) The nature of communication is only one-way without reciprocal
communication

2) Using videos, students are constantly glued to watching, not
following
3) The equipment used is expensive

4) Must use electricity
