Joseph South looked at videos for teaching students English. He showed how standard videos tend to have rather creepy people addressing each other in very formal language and showed how a story-based video showing more realistic interaction is more helpful.

Relates this to situated learning: ‘knowledge is situated, being in part a product of the activity, context and culture in which it is developed and used.’ ‘Language makes little real sense if you don’t understand how it interacts with the culture in which it is inevitably embedded.’
