課程介紹
***This class comes with a 50-minute Skype class to discuss the show.
Many English teachers put too much emphasis on textbook lesson and fail to teach their students slang words and phrases, but I disagree with this. Slang is very popular in colloquial English (informal, natural English speech). It is common in daily conversations as well as on media sources such as TV, movies, radio, magazines, and even newspapers.
Watching TV and movies is the most difficult for English learners because they are made for native English speakers. The people in these videos speak much faster than your English teachers, use idioms and slang expressions that are very difficult to understand, and some have very strong accents.
"Let's Watch 'New Girl'" is a class for students who want to avoid embarrassing situations where slang may be misunderstood or used incorrectly. Plus, you get to watch a great TV show! (Please see a description of the show below.)
In this lesson, I will send you a video file with an episode of "New Girl." Each video will be about 20 minutes long. These videos DO NOT HAVE SUBTITLES, so.....I ask that you watch the video 2-3 times. Listen and watch the characters' facial expressions and body language, too.
Then, I encourage you to write a summary (500 words or less) about the episode. Don't get frustrated if you cannot understand everything. Understanding the main idea is the most important part. Also, write down anything you have trouble understanding: vocabulary, expressions, idioms, etc. When I receive your summary, I will first review it for understanding and then again for proofreading. I will also suggest a few slang expressions, idioms, or vocabulary that I think are important for an English learner to know.
Just try your best, and enjoy the show!
Levels: Advanced-Intermediate, Advanced
Language Skills: Listening, writing, grammar, vocabulary, idioms, slang
