Hi, all.
I spent some time this afternoon looking at the TV 411 website (http://www.tv411.org/) that is the focus of an ELL forum this week at
http://www.ell-u.org/forum/viewthread/182/ [edited by admin to fix broken link]. I found the quality of the videos quite good. I did quibble, however, with the designmation of intermediate level. Given the lanugage used, the speed of speech, and the lack of captioning, I think the videos and lessons work better at an advanced level. I said this on the forum.
What do you think? It's worth taking a look and then joining the discussion. I'm curious to know what you think of this free online resource.
Thanks.
