On this site, ALL the videos with lessons are free and free-access. However, some teachers do not have internet access in the classroom, so we also make DVDs, with workbooks for students and a Teacher's Guide. These documents are supplied on a separate disk in PDF and Word formats.

Description: These DVDs are perhaps best described by Mark Ellison
Taylor of the EFL WEB. Reproduced with his permission:
"Hundreds of passers–by,
tourists, businessmen and students on the streets
of New York, Atlanta, San Francisco, London,
Dublin, and a dozen other cities are all interviewed.
The collection of responses is a most effective
and entertaining tool
for the classroom. Changing accents and the
good humor of both interviewer and interviewee ensure
that the sequences are always engaging. Teachers
find Real English as entertaining as students .
For each video there is
a Video Workbook with exercises related to the
sequences on video. All three books use illustrations
to enhance the exercises. Transcripts
of the videos and answer keys are also
included at the back of each book.
An instructor's guidebook ensures that
even beginner teachers will get the
most out of the method by following
the step-by-step classroom activity
suggestions.
The instructions in the front of each book ask you to watch each sequence
2 or 3 times and then complete the corresponding exercise in the book.
Each sequence contains several interviews. If you have problems understanding
the sequences you are directed to watch the video again, pausing after
each interview you have not understood.
Once completed, you can check your
answers in the back of the book. To
verify further that you have understood what has been said, you can follow
the transcript to the video. In normal classroom environments, the transcripts
are not read until they are understood using the listening comprehension
techniques presented in the instructor's guidebook.
A problem with classroom-based teaching
is the absence of variety. If students
cannot understand the language outside
the classroom because they have become
so familiar with the accents of their
own teacher, the course has failed.
This series meets this requirement
by bringing practice with real people
from all over the globe to the classroom.
The videos are broken up with musical
interludes, songs that lead nicely
into each new sequence. The sequence
number and title also appear on screen.
This makes finding your place in the
video easy if you plan to use parts
of it over the course of a term.
Video 1 is 38 minutes long and contains
14 sequences. Video # 2, 34 minutes
in length, containing 15 sequences. The 36-minute Video 3 contains 21
sequences.
To prevent these fast paced interviews from dulling the senses, humor
is introduced.
For example, when the interviewer attempts
to elicit a response from a vagrant
holding a beer. My favorite sequence
had the interviewer walk up to unsuspecting
interviewees and ask 'What are you
doing?' in the Doing Exercise of Video
2. The friendly tone is helped also
by the often merry attitude of the
interviewees themselves. Not an unhappy
soul in the place. This makes all three
videos attractive to watch.
The use of interviewees from several
non-English speaking countries will
help an EFL student to identify with them.
Real English videos are, without
question, extremely useful resources
for any ESL teacher's bag of tricks."
