Name: Amy Dadarria
Qualification: CELTA
Teaching expertise: Strong in Business as well as General English due to many years in Financial Services and other industries.
Q: TV shows and movies recommended for students: A: I believe in recreational watching for enjoyment, so I never discourage students’ choices, such as Friends or Heroes. However, I usually recommend finding YouTube channels that have topics or stories of interest to students. These videos tend to be between 10-20 minutes, a perfect length to hold one’s attention, yet feel one has achieved some learning.
Examples:
– Big Think (talks by famous people and/or intellectuals, such as Richard Branson/Steven Pinker)
– Vice (mini news and documentaries)
– Seeker (science questions)
– Cold Fusion (business)
Ted talks and TedEd are really good too.
