Film English

Teach. Engage. Inspire. Through Authentic Video & Film.

Film English provides modern, engaging and inspiring Video Lesson Plans and Extensive Viewing Guides for English language teachers.

Learn with authentic videos & films

Our Video Lesson Plans are based on real-world short videos, while our Extensive Viewing Guides explore contemporary feature-length films.

Comprehensive language development through authentic videos & films

Our Video Lesson Plans and Extensive Viewing Guides support students in building all key language skills—viewing, listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Well-structured lessons for effective learning

Our lessons follow a clear, methodical structure with distinct pre-viewing, viewing and post-viewing stages. This seamless progression ensures students engage with content effectively, reinforcing communication skills and vocabulary at every step.

Students increase their vocabulary with a structured approach to authentic language

Our materials help students expand their vocabulary effectively by following a structured learning process. Before viewing videos and films, students engage with a glossary to familiarise themselves with key words and phrases, ensuring better comprehension. After viewing, they actively use the target vocabulary in speaking and writing tasks, reinforcing their learning and making new words and phrases a natural part of their communication.

Teach and engage students with contemporary & practical topics

Our materials explore fresh, relevant and real-world topics that go beyond traditional ESL resources.

What Teachers Are Saying

“I think that your website is extremely creative and the activities are thoroughly engaging.  The lessons are consistently great and I’m always impressed with every new post. Your website deserves to be recognised and hopefully it encourages and inspires other teachers to create similar activities.”

Andy Webster

“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.”

Tatiana Fedorova

“I just love your website! So creative, such good ideas and on top of it you post lesson plans that are different from the ordinary. Thank you for sharing these great ideas!”
