The First Nationally Televised ESL Program! Featuring an ethnically diverse cast who frequent a neighborhood cafe, the 26 half-hour episo des of Crossroads Caf (also available on video cassette) portray real-world scenarios familiar to many ESL learners. Each epis ode features two learning aids: Word Play, an animated segment demonstrating a specific language function, and Culture Clips, a documen tary-style look at issues dramatized in the story. The correlated text materials are written for learners with varying levels of ab ility, providing an integrated cultural experience of listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
