How can it aid language learning?

• the teacher can provide feedback to students by mailing the video. So instead of typing a few lines of words, the teacher can give more concrete feedback on students' performance
• the video is more like a face to face communication which is definately more effective and efficient
• the students can record their own spoken English homework and send it back to the teacher. Since some students are shy to practice oral English in class, using Mailvu is a good way to help them do some oral practice
• this website can encourage teacher-learner talk and make the students feel motivated to use English

What are the limitations?

• students without access to computer or the internet cannot use this website 
• users cannot download the viedos that have been recorded 
• The teacher may have to spend more time on record the feedback to students
• you can only send a video up to 10 mins
