It was in a low intermediate class. I gave them a short reading about Yau before and a little background on Yogi Berra before viewing the commercial. I played the commercial with no sound and had the students supply the language. We wrote down we thought the salesgirl said, the manager, Yau, the boys, the 2nd manager and Yogi. Then I played it a couple of times with the sound and they were surprised when the only word they were saying was "Yo!" and how many things it meant. Then we practiced using "yo" in the different ways that it was used in the video.

Has anyone had success with using closed captioned TV and/or commercials with low level ESL learners? I am teaching several groups of Level 1 learners during the Summer Session and would like to go beyond the standard fare. While there is a wealth of information on how to implement this procedure, I would welcome a "non-pedagogical" response. (What worked, what really worked, what didn't, how you did it, hand outs, etc). Please respond to me off-list. Any and all help, comments, etc., are welcome and appreciated. Thank you.
