I love English!...

I'm lecturing my 10th form students the unit 'A world of many languages'. I found these two videos on the YouTube and I think I'm going to use both of them in class. The first, 'English and Empire - The history of English 6/10', is the 6th video of a collection that teaches the history of English in 10 minutes, by the Open University. I'll start my lesson with this one and then explore the text 'English worldwide'.

The second video brings humour to the class. An American entertainer imitates not only the fantastic British accent but also the English spoken by people of different nationalities... It's a blast!... And it goes perfectly along with the reading/comprehension of the text 'English - other voices'!...

Below, some suggestions of two funny videos one might use in class when lecturing the topic 'A world of many languagues': Learn English really funny commercial and Singlish Chat.
