Time for some levity! It helps us survive our day in and day out teaching grind. It brings things into perspective.
I’ve written previously some top 5 lists about teaching/studying English. Hilarious stuff there. However, I think I have some equally hilarious but showing teachers in classrooms. So let’s go. Here are my top 5 funniest videos about teaching English.
1. Katerine Tate and Comic Relief.Imagine her in your class! Sterling – ‘nough said.
4. Bud Light Super Bowl Commercial 2007

Nice selection. I thought you’d choose Catherine Tate’s ‘I did TEFL in my gap year’ sketch. In case you’ve never seen it…

Yep – know that one. It is truly something special, especially for talking about the paralinguistic features of language. Meaning is a much deeper topic than us teachers usual admit. But alas, she wasn’t in “a classroom” but glad you’ve reminded us of this. Thanks,
Cheers,

I use the Catherine Tate’s “Funny Translator” video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH3pzpC08jM (might be the same as “TEFL in my gap year”) as a starter to a lesson on attitudes toward accented English. It is always well received and realized that languages are simply a set of sounds.
ha ha sailor alphabet video was amazing.liked it.
