The Genki English Teacher Training Video has become a bit of a life saver for people doing elementary workshops in Japan. You simply pop on the video and in an hour you have a room full of teachers who are now confident and have a much better idea of how to go about things. It’s all done with skits and jokes that really get the message across.

But as always time marches on, so today I’m very pleased to announce the release of the all singing, all dancing DVD version!

Having it on DVD makes it so much easier to use, now instead of having to wind through the tape you can simply select any of the 24 sections. Need the games section? Or the part about why we teach English? Or any of the mini-cartoons? Just hit the button on the menu! Plus I’ve also added in English subtitles, so now even if you don’t speak Japanese you can see how and why everything is done like it is.

There are plenty of teaching ideas as well as real examples from shows and classrooms and it’s a great introduction to elementary school teaching. You can buy the DVD on its own, or my advice would be to ask your school to buy the Superpack, it will really help get all your teachers up to speed!
