In response to the many e-mails requesting information and related material to Beyond Babel, I have decided activate the blogging element of this website and to offer occasional posts here.
Since this site was launched back in January 2009, The British Council has adopted Beyond Babel as a teaching tool for India and China. Initially distributed to to participants of China-India ELT event in May 2009, six thousand DVD copies of the series are being distributed in Council offices throughout India and China. This follows in the continued adoption of Beyond Babel as a teaching resource in Universities around the world.
In addition to the video clips available on this website, Beyond Babel now has a Channel on YouTube, which offers a further selection of fourteen clips from the DVD. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of the name Babel, the Channel has had to adopt the original series working title, Back To Babel. If the clips are useful and popular then I will post some more.
