Using Video Clips
At the beginning of the year we usually do, "Meeting People." While studying
introductions, I showed the scene from Ground Hog Day in which Bill Murray
introduces several people in a restaurant to Andie MacDowell using, "This is
--------." and saying something about each person. I used it to hit on
pronunciation, body language, cultural differences, as well as structure.

In the same unit, we studied the scene from Legally Blonde in which the
heroine and members of her group each introduce themselves at law school
orientation day and a job interview scene in which several
getting-to-know-you type questions were asked.
