MrBeast, the perfect fit!

One of the challenges of teaching English as a foreign language is finding suitable multimedia material for classroom use.

  •  Movies are too long for a 50-minute class, leaving little to no time for meaningful language activities. 

  • Similarly, before holidays or end-of-term, videos as a passive activity lack any focus on the target language, serving merely as filler for the class. 

  • Netflix or other streaming services have programs that are often part of a series, which can pose a challenge if only one episode is watched. in assition, students may be disappointed if they cannot watch the content in its entirety. 

  • For all of the above, the level of the target language in these programs is usually above the students' proficiency level, causing the English to become just background noise.

  • MrBeast videos, on the other hand, are standalone and typically under 10 minutes in length.

  • Since they are not part of a series, they can be watched independently without prior knowledge. This makes them perfect for classroom use as they can be watched in their entirety or even rewatched in one class.

  • The level of language and vocabulary used in these videos is also closer to the students' ability, making them more accessible and effective for language learning. 

  • MrBeast videos are entertaining and engaging, which can spark students' curiosity and interest in the target language. They are easily accessible on YouTube and can be used for language activities both inside and outside the classroom.

  • There are several MrBeast channels to choose from, each with its unique appeal.

  • In particular, Beast Reacts and Beast Philanthropy are well-suited for foreign language classrooms.

Let's think about it.

  • MrBeast's past, present, and future content can be used for educational purposes, changing passive consumption to an active way of studying English.

  • Specifically, it can be used to teach English to non-native speakers and serve as a form of edutainment, particularly with three separate demographics: elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school.

  • This can incentivize language learning and provide opportunities for cross-cultural studies with Beast Philanthropy, and funny and cool English with Beast Reacts.

It's not just for kids

As students use it in school and teachers share it with their colleagues, there's potential for it to spread to other demographics as well.

Moms and dads see MrBeast, especially with his philanthropic efforts, and think it's cool, too. With the potential for MrBeast's content to go viral in Japan, the possibilities for its use in education are endless.
