This final chapter offers a review of the ways in which video can be employed and conceptualized in TESOL and Applied Linguistics research. As discussed in previous chapters, the availability of digital video has changed how educators communicate and learn about teaching, but also how research is conducted. This chapter explores the role of video in capturing data from complex classroom interactions and recording informant experience and beliefs vital to research.
