English G 21 Viewing

English G 21 was a long running school book series (2010- ~2018) with many different editions and supplements. There were also different DVDs. This is about the DVD series Viewing (2010). At least 2, one for grade 9 (Band 5) and grade 10/6 each. With slight differences for different German states (3 editions each A, B, D).

I haven't found any notable book or clip previews for this 2010 DVDs. But at least the TOCs. DVD length is ~51 minutes each.

Other DVDs, often 2 parts are Out and About, WWW (What's in? What's on? What's up? , grades 7,8+) and maybe more. There were also CD-ROMs (maybe not containing videos) and different DVD-ROMs (Digitaler Unterrichtsplaner) and software English Coach 21. A later subseries was English G Lighthouse/Headlight/Highlight (later English G removed, grades 5-10). DVDs:

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!
