The new version of the Hope ESL curriculum from www.roofbreakers.org has been released.This free-to-copy English language CD ROM is being used and distributed around the world by a whole range of people. The vision is to see a copy of this material provided to key people in every country.
Currently roofbreakers.org has a specific focus on utilizing the massive global English Language opportunity to develop and distribute resources which teach and inspire students. The Hope ESL software curriculum is Roofbreakers.org’s main project.
This software project had its origins in Vietnam where an Australian English teacher developed the educational concept. Later, in partnership with mars-hill productions, roofbreakers was able to produce the Hope ESL software curriculum as a free-to-copy CD ROM including the full Hope film.
Besides the CD, also available for download are (1) The Hope ESL Software Curriculum Guide in PDF; and (2) A few Simple ideas for New Language Learners and Old Ones Needing Some New Life.
The Hope ESL Mandarin support version has been completed and is awaiting approval to be printed in Beijing. The Indonesian support version of the Hope ESL is in the last stage of development.
I downloaded The Hope and brought it with me to Cameroon. I was very excited about the possibilities, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I tried working through the Beginner section -- the audio and pictures do not match. I have Windows Vista, and I tried both the .exe and html versions. Have you run across this problem? Do you have any fixes? I really would like to have a working version.
