Education through Entertainment!Side by Side TV is a fictional worldwide televisionchannel that offers a variety of programs designed toprovide language instruction and entertaining viewing tolearners of English. Side by Side TV features anexciting, dynamic, and diverse ensemble cast withimpressive stage, screen, and television credits.
Side by Side TV Level One provides a sequencedprogression of grammatical structures and vocabularythat correspond to Book One of the Side by Side ESLseries. Side by Side TV may be used in conjunctionwith the student textbook or may be usedindependently as a stand-alone video for beginning-level learners.
Side by Side TV presents the language in short, clearlyfocused segments consisting of model conversationsfrom the Side by Side student text, short scenes andsketches, on-location interviews, rap numbers, andmusic videos. Grammatical structures frequentlyappear on the screen to highlight for viewers thegrammatical focus of a lesson.
Grammatical structures and vocabulary are firstintroduced in the model conversations, and are thenreinforced and expanded in follow-up scenes thatinclude comedy sketches, light drama sketches, newsbroadcasts, game shows, commercials, talk shows,and cooking shows. On-location interviews capturetypical people’s thoughts and opinions on a wide rangeof subjects, from favorite books and movies tochildhood memories, plans for the weekend, andopinions about fictitious political candidates. Rapnumbers focusing on English rhythm, stress, andintonation are performed by the GrammarRappers, whomagically appear from time to time throughout theprogram. Side by Side TV also features several spiritedmusic videos produced especially for the series.
USING SIDE BY SIDE TV
2
Overall Teaching StrategiesThere are many options for incorporating Side by SideTV into your classroom. Depending upon yourresources, logistics, and time available, you may wish touse the video segments on a regular basis—either dailyor every other day—as a way of introducing orreinforcing each textbook lesson as you cover it. Or, youmay wish to show it periodically (weekly, or perhapsbiweekly) as a supplement—to preview upcominglessons, reinforce current lessons, and review previouslessons.
While watching television is often seen as a passiveviewing experience, our goal is to engage students invery active viewing when they watch Side by Side TV.Every scene is designed to serve as a catalyst forstudent involvement—a springboard for studentinteraction. The listings in this Reference Guide givespecific suggestions for using particular scenes, but weencourage you to try some or all of the following generalteaching strategies whenever you’re using videomaterials with your students.

stop a scene and havestudents predict what willhappen next.

Have students watchand listen to theGrammarRaps andmusic videos one ormore times. Thenhave them performthe numbers alongwith the video.Eventually, aftermore opportunitiesto practice, studentswill enjoy performingthem on their own.
