Plot (short): A course from South Korea. At least for grades 3-6. There are supplement CD-ROMs for each grade, but I think only grades 5+6 have these live-action scenes. Characters are Jinho, Nami, Mrs. Smith, Peter, Joon, and Ann. Kevin, Mike, Jenny, and Sam appear only in American scenes, and Kevin appears in Korea. Kevin (pic 2 below) was also named Bill in 5th grade. Pic 1 showing Joon with painted freckles.

Setting is South Korea and there are Korean children such as Mina and Minsu, but the school is an elementary school attended by Americans, probably a foreign school.

I don't know Korean, but I did some research, mainly for the CDs. Best source is the Namu Wiki and the Naver blog.

The main book cartoon character and maybe the series title is Jito (in English Zeeto) Korean 지토. It's a small green flying Alien. The Book title is 영어 (what means English) and below Elementary School English and the grade. The Alien isn't pictured on the cover but kids.

Not much is known about the actors. On the Namu wiki I found at least one name of a Korean child actor, Ahn Jae-hong (안재홍 * 1989). Best search term 추억의 초등학교 영어 CD.

All clips (live-action and animation/clay) of grade 6 (on 13 pages), other clips are on YouTube, mainly uploader wayhenry.
