John Lander has been teaching English as a Second Language for more than 25 years, starting with Indochinese refugees in San Francisco, to Keio University and Tsukuba University in Japan. Having noticed that the best learners of English were those that watched a lot of TV and movies, John began to implement them in class regularly and assign certain shows as homework. This has led to developing full video-based textbooks and curriculum for adult, university and self study learners.
