Team Up in English (Rise & Shine (Didier)?)


Sorry, I'm currently running out of courses. During research I found an OOP DVD set called "Merry English on DVD" 1+2 by Eli Publishing (Italy). Probably that only has animations. On Eli Multimedia's YouTube channel, I found 2 15 year old clips from 2009 titled Team Up in English. But both are from Editions Didier. The other one is obviously from Rise & Shine showing a blond boy with spiked hair. Maybe this one as well. So that course is much earlier than 2016. Eli indeed had a 2009 four-level lower secondary course called Team Up in English (A1-B1). At least with a DVD-ROM but I think that didn't include videos. Author/concept by Fergal Kavanagh.

There's also a Thai version published by Aksorn. 

I also found "New Team Up in English" (2011?). Base, Plus and Multi edition, latter one with a Drama Reader. There's a DVD called "Hello From Britain!" and other online materials. Not to be confused with Team Up! (Pearson).

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.

Plot (short): An new English course for young teens by Editions Bordas (France). I only found it for grade 6e. Maybe other grades later? (Some) clips are set at the Eleanor Roosevelt Middle School (USA). American host kids: Will and Sophia (unit 1). There are also 7 song clips including karaoke and 7 games.

The clips are included at least in this special edition "Usage classe hors équipement élève. * Manuel numérique enseignant - licence classe" (139 EUR). Not sure if this contains a DVD or DVD-ROM, maybe currently just online clips? In the workbook I only found 7 clips mentioned in total. Maybe more in a digital (teacher's book) "Manuel numérique enseignant".

Another course from that publisher is Hi There!

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)

Next to the original novel (#2), there's also a reader (Easy Readers) from Egmont. 112 pages. Great plot about a brother and sister and their dad experience with plants. Nice jeans of boy Casey.

I'm currently checking some readers. There a many readers, which are thin booklets, for different levels and subjects. Additional contents for regular school books. About half of them are based on classics (books, often made into movies, like Tom Sawer) but the others are just books. Plot is shortened, and there are illustrations, vocabulary and questions/exercises. For some of the readers there are also audio (tape,CD or audiobooks) and nowadays digital contents (web/tablets). I won't post regular movies, but maybe some exceptions. There's another reader from R.L. Stine from series Fear Street. The first readers I bought are from Stephen Speight.
