Modern Family as Video Aid

This program can be used to help teach ESL learners. Works better with subtitles.


I have used the several episodes  as a video aid to teach different basic concepts.

Season 1 ep 1: Can be used to teach introductions and family tree.

Gear your questions towards family relationships.

Ex: Jays is Gloria's ____________________

      Phil is Alex's _____________________

Season 1 ep 2: Can be used to talk about jobs and/or describing people.

ex: What does Phil do?

     What does Cameron look like?



Season 1 ep 7: Can be used to talk about hobbies.


ex: What is Jay's hobby?


You can also highlight different vocabulary words that can studied by the students and used in their daily conversations to help them sound more fluent. Some explanation will be required.

Ex. ep1. Drama Queen.


If you watch different episodes, I'm sure you can come with different lessons. Adult and high school students really enjoy this program.
