Now that Barry has brought up the subject.. what about those old English TV
shows? So many Israelis remember them fondly and remember them well - just
goes to prove how effective they were. For LD kids, and for our "visual"
learners which is most of us, TV is such an effective learning tool. It is
such a shame that Israel educational TV dropped English from its programming.
I remember the days when we'd teach with the text book up to the "magic" point
when we'd take the pupils into the TV room for the program.. it was quite
exciting for them and I think it was definitely a positive. As well as the set
books and programs like Gabby and Debby, and Scooterman, I used to sometimes
use the more "ancient" recordings for individual lessons - there was a
WONDERFUL and funny old cowboy theme show which taught gerunds and infinitives,
and there was the spoof silent movie which dealt with stative verbs. Oh where
did they go? I had to stop using them at my school as they were recorded on
"Betamax" cassettes and so when the machine packed up...we couldn't find
another :-(
Those were the days....
