Hey everyone! Our very favorite show CSI has achieved yet another milestone. And, I am sure that from the title of this write up you must have already deduced which milestone I am talking about. It is really an achievement that the show will be used as a means of enhancing the language skills of students who do not use English as their first language.

We know of shows having inspired other shows, with CSI itself being the perfect example, as it inspired not one but two spin-offs. We have also heard about real life incidents that were inspired from scenes of popular shows and movies. And the industry is full of examples where a show or a movie is based on the events happening in the real world. But this is perhaps the first time that a show will be actually used in teaching some skills to students. What a proud moment it is for our beloved show, CSI!

Now, if some of you are wondering, why CSI was picked, let me tell you. Apart from the fact that the show is immensely popular not only across America but across the globe, it was primarily picked up because it is quite interesting. Students taking EFL/ESL classes are trained in listening skills also, and the listening files made available to them are apparently full of boring chatter.

But now, in order to make the listening classes interesting, the students will be made to watch CSI TV show, which besides improving their listening skills will improve their accents and teach them a lot of slang. Also, the students will be allowed to discuss the show after they have seen it which is definitely going to help in improving their speaking skills. Now that is really innovative, isn’t it guys!

So next time you come across somebody with poor English skills, you know which TV show to suggest. Meanwhile if you want to learn some slang, you can download CSI episodes from this site or watch the episodes online here.
