About this ebook This book represents thousands of hours of in class trial and out of class searching. I regret none of it! Why? Well, I firmly believe that short videos and commercials are perfect vehicles to contextualize language and engage/hook learners. Try them and you’ll see what I mean. You can download the videos by using http://keepvid.com Here’s more info. Also, see my Using Video in the Classroom presentation for some excellent examples and tips. I’ll also be updating the book regularly given that some links may expire. That’s the beauty of this publishing model. Fortunately, many videos are located on EFL Classroom 2.0 (quick registration required) so that I can guarantee their availability. Have fun using these videos in creative ways. This book is a great shortcut to amazing content for the English language classroom. Please share with others how you did use the videos – that’s what it is all about – Teachers helping teachers. The purchase of this book helps support a new model of textbook delivery and more local, teachers helping teachers. Web 2.0 at its finest. It is supported by a large professional development community and an author that will respond to your needs. Your purchase supports all the activities to support practicing teachers through EFL Classsroom 2.0. Thanks in advance, enjoy the teaching and learning, David Deubelbeiss © 2010 by I’m Press

THE BEST COMMERCIALS FOR TEACHING ENGLISH
Use this one to teach “places” Commercials are great for teaching English. Not just for teaching media awareness but for specific language study. They are the perfect “engager” and way to start off and focus a lesson on a central point/topic. Commercials are short and powerful and trendy. The perfect media to use to teach adolescents especially.
Following up on last year’s post and awards – find below a list of this year’s picks. I’ve also included a short, snappy description on how you might use the commercial in your classroom. Lots of amazing commercials and I’ve spent lots of time making sure these are truly – The Bests. See my list of Golden Lion award winners too. The Golden Lion awards are the Academy Awards for commercials (and yes, Obama won there too!). Also, McKinney, the world’s most creative ad agency, has a lot to inspire you.
I’ve included a nice word document for sharing / keeping that merges all my commercial recommendations. Also, see this MIXTUBE PLAYLIST for a full rundown and easy click and play. Further, use our A/V player’s commercial folder and find many of these to play full screen and download for classroom viewing.
If you do want to use commercials and more formally look at their “guts” , as part of a media awareness lesson – use this fill in chart. ANALYZINGTV COMMERCIALS Also, see the commercials in our videos and also in our Media Resources
