CITIZENSHIP VIDEO CASSETTE
A Bilingual Overview of United States History and Government
Video Cassette, approximately 50 minutes
$55.00This video cassette is divided into many small segments and each segment begins with a topic sentence in the learner's primary language. Then the same sentence is spoken in English. This keeps students of limited English proficiency on topic and provides translation of key words. Difficult words are thus either translated or explained. The segment then continues in simple English. Fluent English speakers may use the English-Only version. The video is available in 22 languages.
Each sentence spoken is also captioned in English and illustrated with live action or still pictures including cartoons, famous paintings, maps, photographs and diagrams...all chosen to enhance the viewers grasp of the content.
CITIZENSHIP explains the structure of our government at all levels in easy-to-understand terms appropriate for children as well as adults. In addition, it provides a sensitive look at our historical struggle for freedom and independence.
For anyone studying for the INS exam for United States Citizenship, this video has the answers to all of the hard questions!

A Bilingual Overview of United States History and Government
DVD, approximately 75 minutes
$60.00Our DVD for people studying for the INS examination for U.S. citizenship has the same content as the video described above. However, the DVD has self-tests at the end of each chapter! An incorrect response to a question will send the learner back to the correct answer.
All you need is a DVD player and its remote. Using the arrows on the remote, you move the cursor to the answer you choose and then hit enter. If you hit the correct answer the next question comes up. An incorrect answer sends you back to the appropriate scene on the video and then back to the question for another try!
Like the video tape, the DVD has the topic sentence spoken in translation at the beginning of each small section. You may choose from the same 22 languages. People needing no translation may use the English-Only version.
