For us, IN ENGLISH has been a benchmark builder.
The enthusiasm of our English Language Learners enrolled in
the CBET Personal Tutor and Video Check-out Program is so
infectious we've added six new sections this spring.

Put this effective video-based ESL series to work for your program. It has already proven successful in thousands of classrooms across the U.S.
Units 1-4, IN ENGLISH ON YOUR OWN
These beginning-level units of IN ENGLISH are a series of
24 half-hour video lessons, accompanied by a workbook
and supplemental material.
On-screen instructors introduce the video segments, demonstrate
workbook readings and lead viewers through written and oral exercises (see IN ENGLISH
program sections). Now, Unit 1 is available on YouTube, and workbooks can be downloaded for each segment as well.
The series is organized sequentially, and the vocabulary and
sentence structure are controlled to give the learner success at each level. Click here to see the structures presented in each unit.
Distance Learning programs that lend the videos to students are seeing remarkable student learning gains and automatic family involvement. The additional time on task students receive by viewing the videos at home provides critical practice and reinforcement that cannot be achieved through other means.
Libraries that circulate these self-
instructional videos report high interest and extensive use. By
focusing on informal conversation and continuous spiraling up from
previous material, IN ENGLISH makes learning manageable and
enjoyable.
Units 5-12, IN ENGLISH
Units 5 through 12 continue the video series in
each of the following core segments:
- Scene: video tour and narration contextualizing new vocabulary and
structures.
- Vocabulary: skits and visual definitions of all new vocabulary.
- Dialog: a serial drama stressing natural, informal conversation.
- Pronunciation: clear enunciation of all new vocabulary words.
The characters, story-line and language development continue throughout the
series, Units 1-12. Units 5-12 are presented in a
more "concentrated" format, omitting the on-screen instructors and workbook
exercises. Learners will spend more time reviewing each of these rich
videotapes. |
I have used IN ENGLISH in Distance Learning for the past year and
have been very satisfied with the quality of the material.
My students have responded with enthusiasm, and the CASAS
results are impressive.

The topics gradually advance from the present tense of the verb
"to be" to the present perfect progressive and reported speech.
These steps are methodically integrated with the introduction of a
1700-word vocabulary, conversational phrases, and colloquials
that relate to everyday life in the USA.
Designed for adult education, adult ESL and high-school ESL classes,
the program is often used to teach families with the full range of ages.
The visual dictionary and "soap opera" segments integrate fun and humor
into the carefully structured language instruction.
The series has proven successful with large classes, one-on-one
tutoring, distance learning, literacy and refugee/amnesty programs,
and in numerous other settings.
Created by Richard Bourell, an ESL teacher with twenty years
teaching experience in the USA, Mexico, and Europe, it has earned
enthusiastic loyalty from teachers across the USA. |
