oops

A lot of us with years of experience both teaching and studying languages have come to the conclusion that there is not much hope of progress unless the second language somehow becomes a meaningful part of everyday life. This is true partly because there is so much to learn but also because language learning is more effective when it relates to the total person - to all of his senses, his emotions, his sense of rhythm and fun. Movies and television programs such as "Six Feet Under" are great for making English study a more fully rounded experience; however programs such as that one are not designed specifically for language learners and that is why we at "He Left Right? Brain Film Studio and Language School" have endeavored to create the world's first R rated ESL movie. Studio classroom has the basic idea down fairly well but unfortunately their program has all the drama, humor and genuine emotion of a dead fish.

If this concept appeals to you might I direct you to the flounder forum where you will find a more detailed description of the project under the heading of "Taipei Idiots the Movie Talent Call" and "Why Don't Us Retards Make Our Own Movie?" Thanks.

Things are just dandy son. Rather having the time of my life actually since introducing more drama to the teaching procedure.

As for the exactly what it is I am trying to get at part, I was hoping you could help me. I see my role more as facilitator here.

Did you read "Taipei Idiots The Movie Talent Call" ? How about "Share your mantra?" " Village Idiot Status?" "The Clock on the Wall says 4:10?""Toe Hires?" "How many people can read and write chinese characters?"

These posts (and a few other whose names escape me) will hold the answers you seek maybe. Anyway when you figure out what it is I am trying to get at let me know. Love.
