6aw

6AW is a free nine-part series of videos made for students of English and available on Youtube. Targeting high-beginners to intermediate students, the series is an interesting travel tale featuring an animated character. Each episode is under 10 minutes long. Quizzes are available for the asking.

These videos can be used in class or as homework. One suggestion is to assign them as homework and to give the quiz the following class. The quizzes are relatively easy and students who watch 3 or 4 times will do very well. These are a fun change of pace, free, and readily accessible on Youtube.
