Abstract	This paper discusses the use of video cameras as a teaching tool in English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) classrooms, with emphasis on their use in EFL college courses in East Asian countries. The paper reviews the availability and use of video cameras, especially for instructors who may be unfamiliar with their operation. Language teachers can use video cameras to record student dialogues and role plays, reviewing the tape with students to critique language usage and grammar. The recording of humorous or student-created skits can heighten student interest in such activities. The re-recording of dialogues and skits allows students to compare their most recent performance with earlier renditions. Overall, the use of video cameras in the EFL classroom allows students to analyze their own speaking abilities, observe their own body language, and become more self-critical of their abilities. Teachers can use exceptional performances as examples for future classes. An appendix lists helpful hints for using the video camera in the classroom. (MDM)
