“The more you talk, the better you get. It depends on you!”Wanting to share with us a little bit of what is happening in the English Language learning in Brazil, Daniel Emerson goes to São Paulo, which is a cultural center, and interviews teachers and students to know how young learners and teenagers can be helped to communicate better in English. “Thoughts from Brazil” is a great video and shows the best way kids can learn: playing. This is how they communicate in a fun and free way and get the best of the language.The same happens with teenagers, once they learn English from real situations like when they play video games, interact with people from different countries through social networks like Orkut, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and others, listen to international songs and do researches about the bands on the Internet. It’s not necessary to have a teacher in the classroom, a book and a board to learn, today real life situations have been very useful and important in the learning process.http://www.englishclub.com/esl-videos/thoughts-from-brazil/transcript.htm
I liked this video a lot, specially the part which talks about the kids learning process because they work just the way we work at Green Bay English School (the language School where I'm a teacher). This is the best way to teach in my opinion.
Great review Joyce! I hope you're having a blast at the TESOL conference. Can't wait to hear all about it. Please share the film with the teachers you meet at the conference. The official release date is tomorrow. All of the materials are available here. You can even embed or download the video. http://www.englishclub.com/learning-english-video/index.htm
