  • Videos open with a textual and auditory presentation of the word with definition and end with correct usage of word in the context of the scene

  • ŸOutrageous plotlines and entertaining characters engage students and (dare we say) make learning fun!

  • Parodies of popular TV shows like Lost, The Office, 24, and Gossip Girl connect students to the material, presenting vocabulary to them in a context they can relate to and enjoy
