In America
In America
English, Spanish and French with subtitles in English and Spanish.
A complete ESL lesson plan for In America — ready to open and teach.
In America puts the immigrant experience at the center — not as backdrop, but as subject. The English is natural and varied — the kind of language that prepares students for real communication. Culturally, the film opens conversations that belong in any serious ESL classroom.
Good films have natural moments — a powerful scene, a cultural encounter, a shift in the story — where the language and meaning come together. This plan identifies those moments in In America and builds a lesson around each one. For every scene, you get vocabulary and cultural notes, comprehension activities, and communicative tasks your students can work through in class or independently. A pre-film warm-up gets them ready before the first screening.
Everything is included: the teacher's guide, student worksheets in ESL, and an answer key.
Classic catalog plan — may not include every activity found in our newest releases.
