Greetings! At my school I am organizing some daily English practice for our ESL teachers. Since they are teachers, their English level is quite high already. Unfortunately, their conversation skills are quite lacking. We �ll be doing a little English Club (daily topic discussions) and English Immersion. In the English Immersion part we �ll have different sorts of activities (books on tape listening, video watching, music discussion, article discussion). Mostly, I have this all sorted out but right now I �m trying to find some good videos/movies to use.
So far I �ve been thinking: The Simpsons, Smallville, Mr. Bean, America �s Funniest Home Videos, The Office, Malcolm in the Middle, and Friends.
Do any of you have any other suggestions? The videos don �t have to focus on any certain subject (that �s what the English Club is for). These videos are to help with listening and production skills (as they will be asked to give a summary and answer some questions from the video).
Thanks for the help! |

Hi, I �m an english teacher in Brazil. I think your idea is awesome. This blob may help you: http://moviesegmentstoassessgrammargoals.blogspot.com/
They have shot segments of movies with grammar questions and sometimes even discussions suggestions.
I think it �s nice because you don �t have to select the part of the movie you want to show them neither download/rent whatever the movie... It �s really practical.
Good luck with your staff.

Hi!
Great idea indeed!
I �d recommend Monty Python comedies such as Monty Python �s Life of Brian or The Holy Grail or the wonderful series: Fawlty Towers.
Or Pride & Prejudice (adapted by Je Right or the 1995 BBC mini-series).
HIH!
Marie
