In the opening lines of the scene, Mr Keating uses the word captain. I’m going to focus on the B1 and B2 vocabulary. I’m going to play the scene in parts and describe the interesting vocabulary along the way. He takes the boys out of the classroom into a corridor where there are cases with sports trophies and old photographs. In the scene of the film I’m going to focus on, Keating is introduced to his class for the first time. Unorthodox just means unusual or different, but it’s a bit more formal so you might hear people talk about a style of work or an approach to something formal, perhaps business or the arts as unorthodox. His teaching methods are described as unorthodox. The film is set in 1959 in Vermont in the United States of America at a time when people were far more conservative, especially the rich families who sent their children to expensive schools. It’s quite an old film now it was released in 1989 and stars Robin Williams as Mr Keating, an English teacher working in an old fashioned boarding school for boys. The film is Kiam’s favourite and is called Dead Poets Society. Today, I’m going to look at a scene from a film. Kiam has made a few requests and I will try to get to all of them. Today, I am going to make a podcast following a request from Kiam who left me a comment on the Learn English Vocabulary website. There’s a page for this podcast with the transcript, an activity and a task for you to do in the comments section. You can find a transcript of this podcast on .uk. My name is Jack and I’m making this podcast for you to learn or revise English vocabulary. Hello and welcome to Learn English Vocabulary.
