Update: Living in Great Britain (1977)

 

I just found 2 episodes on YouTube (recent uploads by mangelhausen). Ep "Roadside Assistance" and "Sunday in Suburbia" (pictured). Lots of sports in latter one (golfing, tennis, etc). Previously I haven't found any pics or clips. Director Tim Moores. Editor (WDR) Lothar Humburg. At least 1977 and not 1978. And just 3 episodes. No kids shown. Actors Louise Hall-Taylor, David Gretton.

Main post with new pic of ep 1 Roadside Assistance

Fast Track English (Telekolleg II) - episode 19

Has been aired this morning (6.30-7.00 am in Germany, I often miss that this early). Episode "Getting Around" is about disabled people and disabled sports. Some scenes at an indoor pool also showing probably not disabled kids but from a distance. At least 3 younger boys, one in black swim shorts.

Sorry, I'm currently very busy. But maybe I'll find some more series for the upcoming school year.

Update: The London Outing

 

Like for Bridges, I found the 2 VHS/leaflet covers on my backups taken in 2007 from the FWU archives. Now lost and there are no pics on the web. Pic 2 I had before, but pic 1 is new. 1983 series. 2 VHS for 5 episodes.

Sammy Learning

Another South Korean ELT course. 2007 Web course, used at least until 2010. Original title 새미학습. Pic 1 from grade 3 Lesson 10 I can swim 2/4 clip 새미학습 초등영어 3학년 2학기 10단원 2차시.

Pic 2 from YouTube clip "새미학습 초등영어 4학년 1학기 1단원 1차시" Elementary grade 4 or 1. Lesson 1 Nice to meet you 1/4. Both uploader min780508 신민철.

From reporters Kim Jae-hong and Kwon Jeong-ho from Gyeongnam. Aka Sammi Learning, Saemi Learning. I haven't checked all clips but there are few live-action scenes. 

There are also clips with the green alien comic character Zeeto 지토 from the "Kevin and Ann" series. Lesson 1 Nice to Meet You 3/4.

Elementary School English (YBM Kim, 2020)

 

I found another South Korean clips on YouTube from uploader Jayedu. Playlist 2020GH English Class. Not exactly sure about the title. Grades 5 and 6. Original source are from YBM digital textbook (webdt.edunet). Pic from Grade 5 Lesson 7 What Time Do You Get up? unit 2. YouTube title 초등학교 5학년 영어 ybm(김) 7단원 2차시 디지털교과서 활용 학습 안내.

Different clips "Think and Talk" including songs "Let's sing". Few and short clips. Not sure if there's a CD-ROM/DVD version as well. Hard to research. I don't know Korean.

Elementary School English (later edition)

 

During research for the Kevin and Ann series, I found some other clips on YouTube assuming for another course, but it's also the same South Korean public course Elementary School English by Genius Education Co. Ltd. (천재교육) / Ham Soonae (함순애) grades 3-6 but a later edition. I think not the current edition by EBS. Maybe a late 2010s edition.

Pic 1 from grade 5 lesson 8 (How much are the shoes?) showing Tony, pic 2 from grade 4 lesson 8 (I'm a pilot) showing Kevin. Some girls are Lisa and Ubin. Most or all units still have the same title like "Whose Sock is this?". Clips are 10-20 minutes but have 2 very brief live-action scenes each, about 1 minute total. 2020 uploads by TV-rw4gg (방콕TV). One clip is called  5학년영어#Where are you from?#디지털교과서#천재교과서#함순애#1과2차시.
