Description
This book was written in order to be used in English lessons with my online students. It proved to be a popular and effective resource, so I have decided to make it available in an e-book format. It could be useful for two different types of readers. Firstly, teachers of English may find it a fun and effective resource for their students. The majority of homework exercises that English teachers give their students are based on reading and writing skills. This course is an attempt to provide a greater bias towards listening practice. The second type of reader is the independent student who enjoys learning by doing, and who understands that fluency is obtainable once one's reactions are fast enough to respond to everyday speech. Such speech is found in TV shows, and it would be a crime not to use it. I have included grammar and vocabulary exercises in all of the lessons, as well as some comprehension and discussion questions. As a teacher, I give the lesson to the students as homework, and he or she watches the show in their free time and retells me a summary of the plot during the next class. I encourage them to use the target vocabulary and grammar forms during this retell, and we then discuss the questions. Other teachers could do the same, or they may prefer to use the material in some other way. The independent student could watch the shows, complete the answers, and then perhaps discuss the show with a friend. I think the retelling part is essential in order to improve speaking skills and to learn the new vocabulary by heart.
The exercises are targetted at all 11 episodes of the first 2 seasons of the BBC show, 'Line of Duty'. The student will be required to watch this show before they complete the exercises, and the show is available for purchase on Amazon. In addition, I have made several YouTube classes revising this vocabulary; there are links to these lessons for those students who will find extra resources helpful. There are also links in this ebook to lots of grammar lessons that are on my YouTube channel.
