Plot (short): A Dutch course. I found in a TV magazine (MO 31.12.1990) You 're welcome, voorlichtingsprogramma voor deze cursus Engels voor beginners. (NL3 19.50h). Host Pieter Sleeboom. Started 1.Nov 1988. Re-broadcasted 1994. Maybe just studio scenes? There are grown-ups shown. Maybe the course is for adults? 

I first thought that the course is just called "Engels voor beginners" but it's  "You 're welcome". Pics on tvenradiodb.nl. I haven't found much other info.

Pic is from a book Engels voor beginners but 1993 Spanish version (same cover image, same Belgian publisher Deltas). 3 books by Aagje Dupré. 1989 Book series Taal leren voor beginners. Also other language courses. There were audio cassettes. I haven't found videos or pics of VHS. This is probably a different course.

Update: Steps in English


I recently found this 2011 ? Oxford course, but I already had an entry. New pic from a Polish book of level 1. Scene showing Amy, Tomek and Dylan on right (in red). Unit 1 Welcome. Tomek and friends. Photostory, but I assume a video on DVD as well.

Unit 2 School, Unit 3 My home.

Next to vocabulary, grammar (2 steps), there are Skill Steps and Culture steps as columns in the book.

Culture Steps: Tomek has a blog (probably fictional), Unit 1: Blog: The Royal Family. Project Making a family tree.

Unit 2. Blog: School. Project: making a plan of your classroom.

Unit 3. Blog: Warwick Castle. Project: Making a poster about a Polish castle. -"DVD". Can't say what DVD exactly means here. Probably referring to a video from this. Not sure if it involves the kids as well (or just a castle), but it's likely.

Main post, with pic from  level 2 (other teens)

Update 2: Project Explore

 

I found this but already had it. Even with an update. Oxford University courses. I found some better pics from the books. Pic 1 again from level 2. Boys probably called Jed, Fred and Alfie. There are also at least 2 girls, Lily and Elsa.

Pic 2 is from level 1. Surprisingly older kids/teens. Keira, Pablo, Viki and Ravi.

Some clips are animated. There are few live-action clips from level 2. Some on YouTube by Julieta Roldan. Also with the scene from my update. Clips are ca 1-3 minutes.

Very nice scenes, probably worth buying. Reminds me of Cornelsen's English G Lighthouse/Access.

Update: Speak Out


I found 2 episodes on YouTube (recent uploads from The Art of Film on 16mm). Pic from ep "At The Post-Office" (ep 5) Set in Alfriston/Sussex. FWU, Radio Bremen 1971, 25 minutes, showing siblings Jenny and Simon. Actress Sheila Raynor. No more actors credits. Director Nigel Whittaker.  

The other episode (6) is "At a Shoe Shop", with older actors starring Barbara New, Elvi Hale. Maybe he has some more episodes.

This was the 2nd German ELT series on TV and the 1st using VCR. Previously I haven't found any pics nor clips. Produced 1971. I think first aired 1972.
