Update: Project

 


This is from Project (Forth Edition, I think from 2013) from Oxford University Press. I already had this under Project Video (1989, VHS). I hadn't found good screenshots then. Probably these are new clips. DVD video available (might be DVD ROM).

Pic 1 from part 4 Dylan's Plan (Drama) Level 3 unit 4. Pic 2 from Level 1 unit 4 part 2 Your favourite sport (Interview). In total 5 levels. I haven't checked them all. I only found clips of levels 1-3 on YouTube 17/17/25 clips. ~1-5 minutes each.

There are also animations and grown-ups and many (teen) girls shown. Materials still from Tom Hutchinson. Also available as Czech and Serbian editions, maybe more.

There's also "Project Explore" from Oxford University, maybe not related.

Plot (short): Another French course by Editions Belin. I think for 6th grade only. The video DVD should be included in the "manual" (probably manuel d'eleves avec CD, the student's book) and there's a pack of 3 Audio CDs (89 audio tracks) depicting screenshots but probably not containing videos. 

Story filmed in the UK. Main characters obviously the boy (Jack 13 yo from Scotland ?) and a girl (Emily 10 yo from England). The cute blue little alien robot is called Zero (age 125 from planet YZ932) . The vision turns blueish when watched by Zero. I found a 9 minutes official clip on YouTube called Making Friends 6e - Présentation de la méthode. Also showing some others in a class at school.

At least 5 units. Unknown amount of videos. I only found very few book samples.

Episodes: ~4 minutes each clip

English G Lighthouse 2


Unlike parts 3+4 (which have different teens in each part), part 2 (6th grade) has the  same actors like in the 1st part (Sarah, Paul and Anna, from left, for actor's name and staff see part 1). I found several screenshots in the official book preview. I hesitated to order this, as they are often shown in school uniforms and in one episode with caps. Probably there are no more DVDs of them.

The plots are quite good and funny. Again set in and around Plymouth. All have longer hair, obviously filmed several months, up to one year later. Paul has not that fresh haircut. Orange jeans and dark blue pants 7/8th. Also starring again Tom, the older brother of Sarah (few scenes) and new Ethan, older cousin of Anna (unit 6 only). Also new actors (from other schools) in People and places. Tag rugby don't have handsome actors. Squashbox theatre has just a man. Meet Bilbo mainly a man. Lighthouse 1 is much better.

In unit 2, Paul wearing a ghost costume and white face (Tom as a vampire). DVDs are good, but for learning English it also needs the books and a teacher.

Screenshots of ep. Letterboxing (Paul with woollen cap) can be found in preview of school book Go Ahead 6

Headlight, Highlight and Lighthouse (English G) are obviously the same DVDs. Books are slightly different as aimed at different school types.

Letterboxing and maybe some few more episodes also appear on DVD English G Access (2014/2017/2019).


Units: episodes ~5 minutes each

The Kids from Harbour Road

1. Oh dear, oh dear!

2. Halloween night (inside)

3. Vote for Paul! (mainly at school, class representative)

4. Sarah's pasties (pictured)

5. Letterboxing

6. Where's Anna? (sightseeing)

People and Places:

1. The drama club (several kids)

2. A tour of my neighbourhood (boy)

3. At Dartmoor Zoo (girl)

4. Tag rugby (mainly teens)

5. Meet Bilbo! (man with lifeasaver dog)

6. Squahbox theatre (puppeteer)
