## TV, video- and audio recordings

Goals:

- I can understand most TV news and current affairs programmes.
- I can understand documentaries, live interviews, talk shows, plays and the majority of films in the standard form of the language or a familiar variety.

1. CNN10
   You can watch the news program for youth of the CNN. There are new broadcasts every monday-friday with a wide variety of subjects and news items from around the world. The news items are very varied and selected for a young audience.
2. EuroNews
   If you do not like watching CNN10; for example, if the reporter is too preppy for you, you can also watch Euronews. They're Europe’s leading international news channel, providing global, multilingual news with a European perspective to over 440 million homes in 160 countries. Unapologetically impartial, EuroNews believe all views matter, and we actively resist the temptation to bait clicks or views through bias, outrage, or sensationalism.
3. Netflix - Explained
   In this reader, you will find the subjects and assignments you will discuss in the next few lessons. Each lesson is based on the popular Netflix series Explained or the subsequent The Mind, Explained. The series covers a wide range of topics and should include something interesting for everyone. We will cover the episodes on Memory, Monogamy, Cults, Astrology and Pandemics. Every lesson will include listening and watching, and the ‘after watching’ assignments will help you practice not only different English skills, but also skills you can use outside the classroom. You can find the needed episodes on Youtube or on Netflix.
4. Films and series
   There are of course a plethora of films and series you could watch. Find a film or series that you find interesting and watch it. If you use a streaming service, you can often choose whether you do or don't want subtitles. You are allowed to have English subtitles, but of course you practise your listening skills a bit better if you do not have any subtitles. If you watch the same video with a partner, you can then talk about it (to practise your writing) or ask each other questions about what you've seen (to practise speaking). This way you can also check whether you've both understood what you've seen.
5. Podchaser
   Podcasts are a great way to practise your listening as well. Podchaser is the most accurate and extensive podcast database known to man! Seriously! No matter what you're trying to find, including information about Spotify exclusive content, the website has everything you need. Filter the podcasts based on your interest, and discover ones you'll like.
