A video instructional series in English as a second language for college and high school classrooms and adult learners; 50 fifteen-minute video programs and coordinated books…
Through the story of Rebecca, an aspiring singer on a journey across America, Connect With English touches on life’s important issues: leaving home, parenting, education, work, love, success, and loss. All of the characters use meaningful, natural language that students can put to work immediately in their own lives. Each episode features dialogue that is slightly slowed down and subtly simplified. Key lines are repeated, idioms paraphrased, and important events retold. There are constant visual clues to meaning, such as written signs, notes, and documents. Facial expressions, gestures, and body language also reveal meaning for students. Closed captioning can be used as a teaching and literacy resource. For levels from high beginning through low and high intermediate.
LearningReviews.com note: All 48 episodes can be viewed online. An accompanying review in each section covers key grammar, a dictation exercise, expressions and idioms, a brief quiz, and a writing prompt. Excellent interactive series for high school ESL/ELL students.
