Next to Video DVDs there are also DVD-ROMs (presentation plus, whiteboard?). And of course online contents for students. Pic from the official sample (Level 1 clip 3 Real Talk).

(Some or all) videos from Discovery Education TM with global contents (probably Culture, CLIL). Tagline: Discover a new perspective. Worldwide culture and geography/culture. Not sure about the Real Talk clips (short interviews, mainly studio).

Episodes: unknown DVD length, all or most clips are obviously very short ~ 1-2 minutes, some "Real Talk" clips ~1 minute and less.
