Using TV shows to teach ESL
Hi all,
I'm an English teacher in Japan, working at a small, private school. Part of the job is creating new possible classes that would be interesting and fun for students. I had the idea of building a class around American TV shows. I'm sure I could handle the logistics of it (planning and whatnot), but I'm unsure about the legal ramifications of it.
If I purchase a DVD box set of 'Friends', am I able to show episodes in class on a regular basis. Since students are paying for this class, it seems iffy. Any ideas?
Thanks.
