 Maggie
Sokolik, Assistant Director for Language Proficiency & Instructional
Technology, University of California, Berkeley,
wrote in her review: "Who
could imagine that the Chapter 1, Lesson 1 question, "How
are you?" could become an interesting one
for English learners? Real English has made it
so". |
| From
the point of view of an ESL instructor,
Sab Will, creator of the TEFL Farm: "The video
clips are charming, funny and - I have to say it
again - so Real. You never feel as though you're
doing an English course with Real English; it's
more like you've just met a lot of friendly people,
all ready to help you practise and improve... It
restores your faith in teaching". |
|
| The
Language Learning & Technology Review: "The
inclusion of different accents and "real" people
also contributes to the authenticity of the program
by reflecting the current state of English as an
international lingua franca. Indeed, this kind
of input is extremely rare in existing ESL materials,
granting Real English a unique strength... there
is no doubt that Real English has achieved excellence. " |

EFL Web Review by Mark Ellison Taylor
"Changing accents and the good humour of both interviewer and interviewee ensure that the sequences are always engaging. Even teachers will find it entertaining. The Marzio School's Real English videos are, without question, extremely useful resources for any EFL teacher's bag of tricks". |

Excerpt
from an article written for ESL
Magazine by Elizabeth Hanson-Smith, Ph.D.,
Computers for Education:
"The Real English
product is fascinating – to the extent
that even native speakers enjoy listening and
watching... Here are people speaking ingenuously
about themselves... You just can't stop watching,
even when people in the street are reciting
the alphabet! Real English has all the apparatus
for grammar practice a teacher could possibly
want... beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is
one of the best new products to come out on
CD, videocassette, & online since all of
National Geographic."

| Parlez-vous français?
When we published the Real English CD-ROMs, they did not go unnoticed by the French press. France's favorite pay-TV channel, Canal Plus, also wrote a stunning review. |
