Do you accept donations? If so, you should post a donation link here! You do great work and I really love your lessons for my classes!
Hi Christina,
Thanks a lot for commenting and for your lovely feedback. I’ve considered putting a donation link on the home page as the site costs money and I spend a lot of time on the posts. Donations would help to cover some of the costs.
Cheers,
Kieran
“Validation” is the best educational film I’ve ever seen.I’ve been teaching English for more than 20 years and strongly believe that it’s impossible to teach any subject(I mean Language,History, even Maths) without teaching warm attitude towards other people – no matter how it happens.You give me (as a teacher) a great opportunity of using this film during my lessons.Thanks a lot!!! God bless you! You are really sharing not only educational but humane and positive-thinking way of teaching as well.
Hi Tatiana,
Thanks so much for your kind words, I really appreciate them. I completely agree with you when you say we should help students see the worth of values such as empathy and compassion.
All the best,
Kieran
Hi Kieran,
Your site looks amazing! I work for a for-profit English language school in Sydney. We’re trying our best to adhere to Copyright and Screenrights law and as a consequence teachers are finding that there are very few videos they can use on Youtube etc, even TED can’t really be used by for-profit organisations.
Can you clarify what the copyright situation is for the videos on this site? Can I direct our teachers here to use the videos and lesson plans in class even though we are a for-profit company (please say yes!)?
Many thanks,
Kate
Hi Kate,
I’m no expert on copyright, but I think the videos can be used for educational purposes. You can certainly use the lesson plans. I hope this helps.
All the best,
Kieran
Hi! This is a great job!!!!! I want to ask you do you know where can I find some film lessons for the elementary or begginers adults? Thank you very much!!!!!! Josefina from Argentina.
Hi Joesefina,
I’m really happy you like the site. Here’s a link to 2 lessons which can be used for beginners and elemenntary students:
http://film-english.com/category/elementary-a1-pre-intermediate-a2/
Lots of the lessons designed around films with no dialogue can be adapted for lower levels.
All the best,
Kieran

Film English has to be my favourite resource website – well structured lessons and great films. I used “Paperman” with my students on Valentines Day and they loved it.
Hi Jennie,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment and for your kind words about the site, I’m really honoured that Film English is your favourite resource site.
All the best,
Kieran
I have never seen anything like this! Honestly, I have found myself impatiently waiting for another lesson plan
, another great video, some new ideas … Keep up the great work, you are a true inspiration to all of us who teach and love English (greetings from Serbia)!
Hi Jasmina,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment. I’m really happy you like the site so much:-)
All the best,

Hi Kieran,
Just recently came upon your site…and am thoroughly enjoying it! I love the films and lessons! Did the “be happy” class with a group the other day and read the book “The gift of nothing” by Patrick McDonnell afterwards which tied in really well. Great to see the Ken Robinson one up. It’s funny because I’ve been using that and other TED talks for a couple of years now and everyone seems to get something out of them.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
From the very wet Garrotxa!
Ellen.
HI Ellen,
Thanks a lot for commenting and for your kind words about the site. I’m really happy you like it so much. I’ll check out The Gift of Nothing. By the way, has it stopped raining in La Garrotxa?
All the best,
Kieran
Now, it’s blazing sunshine, TG! Thanks a million!

Hi Kieran,
I attended your conference a week ago in Madrid and wanted to ask you about some copyright questions about your blog. Can I embed your videos ( Since I see there is the option) and some of your “activities sheets” to my blog for my students? It is not the whole lesson plan because it is not possible but just parts of it. How should I do it? Do I just mention your site on each of the activities I embed?
Thank you!
Andrea
Hi Andrea,
You can embed the worksheets, but please acknowledge tha tit comes from Film English and add a link to the appropriate lesson the the site.
All the best,
Kieran
Thank you SO MUCH, Kieran!
Really great job! Amazing lesson plans… Saves teachers A LOT OF time and makes great lessons at the same time!
