Not Right For WatchKnowLearn
WatchKnowLearn ratings are intentionally harsher than what you might find on YouTube, for example. Most of our videos have been imported by people who want to use them with kids, not by the creators of the videos. We take a hard-nosed attitude toward quality. Four and five stars should be reserved for really excellent quality. Three stars isn't bad. Two is often watchable and shouldn't be ruled out.

  • 5 stars = Exemplary.
    Unusually helpful and well produced. Do not overuse this, please; it is not the standard rating for decent work, as it is elsewhere.
  • 4 stars = Very Good.
    Very helpful but not among the very best; adequately produced, at least.
  • 3 stars = Usable.
    Reasonably helpful, perhaps a bit amateurish in production or has some other problem; there is nothing wrong with a 3-star rating for amateur work!
  • 2 stars = Some Merit.
    Minimally helpful; not completely worthless or inappropriate; you can see how it might be useful to some people.
  • 1 star = Not Right for WatchKnowLearn.
    Not at all helpful, not educational, poorest quality, etc.; you can't see it being useful to anyone.

From YouTube, produced by Hat for rent
 
This lesson presents the phonetic alphabet in British English. The British presenter explains why phonetics may be helpful. Some people think that this is a helpful tool for improving spoken English, while others feel that phonetics slows down the process of learning the language. There are examples for each sound and you can see the phonetic symbol and the words on the screen. (8:54)

  • Unless changed, the Finder is the person who uploaded the video to WatchKnowLearn.
  • The Finder is allowed to "lock" information about the Owner and Producer (so other accounts cannot edit this information). The Finder field should match the Owner field when a video is entered in a contest.
  • As owner of a video, you can have finder rights transferred to you.
Simply click "Request Finder Rights" and an e-mail will be sent to the current Finder of the video. The Finder may then transfer rights to you. If he or she does not, bear in mind that an Administrator will see the refusal of your request and will be able to review it.

Thanks SBBLackley for visiting the website and giving your extensive reviews.  Let me encourage you to continue to review and rate the videos that you come across.  That is what makes Watchknow a "wiki" - contributions from others.

The idea behind this video has merit, the teacher is engaging and the pacing is great, but it has a few "fatal" flaws: 1) The teacher fails to make an explicit distinction between sounds (phonemes) and graphemes (letters that represent phonemes) and sometimes says "letters" when he means sounds; 2) A few of the phonemes are not produced accurately (e.g. the mid-vowel in "but");  3) The teacher appears to confound  phonetics (the system of speech sound classification using, for example, IPA) with phonics (the explicit teaching of sound letter associations); 4) the teacher's discussion about the merits of phonics in teaching and learning English is entirely opinion-based, with no reference to the extensive research that provides guidance about when and how the use of phonics can be helpful and for whom.
