This weekend I am going to be talking to teachers about the "Learning English Video Project". This is a set of 7 short films about learning English. Each film takes place in a different country. I am going to show teachers an example from the film "Thoughts from Brazil".
I think MyEC members will like "Thoughts from Brazil". It features some teens who use sites such as Facebook or MySpace to practice English.
Will you take part in an online video lesson with me?
Feel free to do all 5 activities + the BONUS quizzes. Or, just watch the film and leave a comment.
