A hemiola is a rhythmic device that gives the impression of the music speeding up. Music which was originally in triple time moves into duple time. This gives the effect of triple metre moving to duple metre. The chord changes move from once every three beats to once every two beats. Hemiolas are often found near the ends of cadences. For example, you could create a hemiola when you write 3 bars of 2/4 (6 crotchets long) in the place of 2 bars of 3/4 (also 6 crotchets long). This takes up the same amounts of beats and notes but changes the feel of the music, giving the impression we have switched time signatures. Usually you don't actually change the printed time signature. You simply cause accents on the new strong beats (e.g. by having the harmony change every minim). Watch the video to full understand how hemiolas work and listen to an musical example of what they sound like.
