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 |

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...) Mietz
