FilmArobics world language resources give students a mental workout that boosts their language skills using immersive film experiences.

FilmArobics is for teachers, by teachers. Started in 1994, FilmArobics started as a challenge for two teachers who received a French film without subtitles, “Cyrano de Bergerac." Judy Sugarman and Nancy Ward divided the movie into 10-15 minute segments to fit into class periods and created lesson plans that addressed all learning styles. For nearly two decades Judy continued to publish lesson plans expanding from French into Spanish, German, Italian, and English.

In 2014 , Bert Neumaier took over Film Arobics. An accomplished world language teacher and K-12 program supervisor with over 40 years of experience, Bert was the 1987 Connecticut Teacher of the Year, and in 1991 received the national Milken Educator Award. Bert has also been a world language methods instructor for the CT Alternate Route to Certification since 2000 having trained approximately 400 teachers for the World Language classroom.
