From Movie
Talk French: "Au coeur de la loi"
These DVD-ROMs run on computers
equipped with a DVD-ROM drive and cannot be played on a domestic DVD player.
The Movie Talk series is aimed at advanced language learners and is based
on authentic movies of between 50 minutes and 112 minutes in length - the complete
movie being stored on the DVD. The complete series consists of:
- English: "The
sins of the fathers"
- French: "Au
coeur de la loi"
- German: "Ein
Fall für Zwei"
- Spanish:
"Querido maestro"
- Italian:
"Mio padre è innocente"
Each DVD is divided
into six sections:
- Video &
Script: The whole movie can be viewed in full-screen mode without subtitles
or in small-screen mode with subtitles and an optional rolling script. If
the learner wishes to view a particular scene and play it over and over again,
it can be selected from a menu.
- Movie Quiz:
The learner takes part in a TV-style quiz on the movie, pitting his/her wits
against a "virtual" competitor - a character who has already appeared
in the World Talk series.
- Record Yourself:
The learner can choose a character in a short clip from the movie and record
his/her own voice, which is then substituted for the character's voice. Re-record
the clip giving yourself the best lines.
- Dictionary:
The learner can look up a word, which is then spoken aloud and illustrated
with a still picture from the movie.
- Word Search:
The learner can look for an example of a word in use. A short clip containing
the word will then play.
- Activities:
These consist of a four types of interactive exercises:
- Vocabulary:
The learner attempts to match a spoken word with a still picture
- Missing
Word: A gap-filling/multiple-choice drag-and-drop exercise in which
the learner attempts to match a blanked-out word in the movie subtitle
with a selection of possible words that appear below the subtitle.
- Spelling:
An activity which is similar to Missing Word, except that the learner
has to drag the word letter-by-letter into the gap in the subtitle.
- What's
the next line? A multiple-choice exercise in which a short clip from
the movie is played and the learner has to anticipate the next line.
In addition, it
is possible for the learner to select his/her support language, e.g. a Spanish
MT speaker learning French could select Spanish as the support language. Individual
learners' names are stored, with a record of their score, the date on which
they last used the DVD, and the total number of sessions in which they have
used it.

of the program in one language, then each subsequent version that you buy in
other languages will cost you £110.00 per language.
