Learning English through a TV series. This is a true story I often tell my students.
Quite a long time ago, I went out with an Italian who was relatively new to London. He hardly spoke any English when we met, and we used to have conversations, negotiating meaning in Italian and the little Spanish I knew, with a huge Italian-English dictionary between us. Shortly after we met, I gave him a simple gap-fill exercise that required him to transform the verbs into the past tense, and he spent about 5 minutes understanding the instructions ‘Fill in the gaps with the suitable verbs’, and getting quite frustrated. I soon realised that it was quite impossible to teach someone whom I was involved with. Watching TV together was always quite a challenge and the psychological block he had grew as he struggled to understand what he was hearing. The first 5 episodes took us ages to get through as he would yell ‘stop’ every other second. One day, as I was watching TV, he walked into the room and started watching the TV programme with me.

Stars in their Eyes. When I was a kid in my hometown, a little village in the north of Spain, there used to be a cinema.
Not any more and not for a long time. In fact, it seems to me there are very few towns or even cities which still have a cinema and I’m not talking about the outdoor cinemas, which are so popular in summer, I am talking about the real thing. Cinemas with endless rows of seats smelling oldish and where the usher always told you off before you even got to your seat and started cracking up. I remember we didn’t get to see the latest films until they were 4 or 5 years old and then, they were not new any more as our friends from the capital city kindly reminded us rolling their eyes in disbelief when they came on holiday, but all the same it brings back very good memories. I must be getting old! So today I’m sharing with you an engaging lesson with lots of activities around the theme of films and the cinema. Activity 1. Step 1.Wordcloud. Step 2.
