Video for adult High Beginner
 
Hello All,
 
I have a female, adult, high beginner of English who is easily bored.  She wrote in her intake sheet that she wanted to "watch videos" and "listen to songs".  I �m interested in video material I can get (dvd is best because I have a hard time with downloading on the internet, problem with speed). The problem is she doesn �t like to do exercises of more than a page. So, something that �s interesting and education would be great if it was aimed at her level or a little higher.  I �ve thought about National Geographic, but I �m not sure it �s accessible to a high beginner and also I need english subtitles.  I know there is a huge cache of songs with worksheets here which I intend to make use of, but can someone help me with Learning series, comedies perhaps, anything that I could use.
 
Thanks in advance for your help and support,
Best regards,
Belles

How about You Tube? Do you have trouble downloading from there? Anyway, if you follow this link you �ll find some videos on Britain  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsxbpo0Vikk&feature=related

If you are teaching the student within a business context, the TV-series "The office" might be interesting and challenging to watch. You can find parts of it under youtube and there is a good worksheet series here starting with: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=105672#thetop

Hope this might help.

Thank you both, yes I have a slow intternet connection. Mietz does The Office have English subtitles on the DVD?  It �s always a little hard to hear and understand over the internet, and before I buy it, I want to make sure you can get English subtitles too.

Yes. There are subtitles on the DVD �s. At least on the set I had. (I rented mine from the video shop BTW. You could try that - for other films and series, too. Ally McBeal is also good. Loads of office and legal stuff...)
