The Hope
The Hope is an interactive ESL curriculum using the Hope film as its basis.
The Hope Film is an overview of the Bible from Creation to the growth of the early church with narrators introducing each topic as scenes from feature films complement their explanations. The language is very clear and easy to understand.
The software program includes the entire film plus interactive English listening and speaking exercises.
Here is a Presentation about the Software.

Science Shorts
Intermediate level ESL lessons adapted with permission from the work of Dr. David Humphreys, emeritus professor of Chemistry at McMaster University, in Hamilton, Ontario.
Science Shorts were created to demonstrate the credibility of the Christian faith through science and the laws of the universe. Lessons are designed for students who have little or no background in Christian thought or teaching. Our hope is that these lessons will be used to open their minds to the truth of God and His care and love for them.
