'Television is an impressionistic, suggestive medium. Research about television and learning shows that learning goes on in a learning
environment, where dialogue is taking place with teachers or parents.
It needs to be mediated. There is nothing wrong with harnessing new technology to teach our children but there is still a big role for formal education.'

We humbly believe that we have something to contribute to 'screen learning'.

Unlike other e-Books, which only focus on checking comprehension skills, this mediated work facilitates the students’ learning process, while it raises their
overall listening skills.

Ready-made exercises for classroom use
English-behind-the-scenes is time-saving, engaging and fresh. Each video pack includes student’s worksheets, teacher’s notes and table of contents. As teachers we have already used all the material we offer here. It is up to you to choose the most appropriate videos for each group, depending on your students’ level, ages, interests, tastes, their different needs and realities.
For teachers preparing students for any of the UCLES examinations, there is plenty of material for further practice in the skills required for the different examinations. For those who are not, the material is equally challenging.

Authentic material at all levels
This authentic material provides the perfect opportunity for students to identify with the situation and characters, and thereby analyse not only the choice of vocabulary and grammatical form, but also the discourse, the variety of accents and the phonological and cultural aspects of the language.
There is material to cater for the needs of higher and lower levels alike, but there is also material which has been adapted for use at different levels. The difference lies in the depth of the work, the range of structures to be introduced, practised or recycled, the choice of lexical items, the topics dealt with, cultural references, and so on.

Active learning in a powerful context ensures memorability
This is not just sit back, relax and enjoy. Although we are sure you will, you will also be actively involved with your students in each context. This approach is based on exploiting the context as much as possible, getting students to zero in on the language used, be it grammatical patterns, lexical items, discourse linkers, or register. This provides them with the tools they need to bring about true communication. Films probably provide the most powerful context for a natural approach to language learning. Why not start using this material on a daily basis, alongside your regular text-book?
