Teaching using TV transcripts?
Hello -
Can somebody give me suggestions how to format my class so that I can teach transcripts to TV shows?
My student (aka my boss) wants to improve his speaking and practice his intonations. I thought teaching the dialogue to a TV show would be good, but I just don't know how to go about it.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

I don't think transcripts are going to help his speaking. You'll need to record the TV show itself. Why not work from video tape instead?

In any case, a mix of news, comedy, and drama is pro
