Hello everyone! I have some very exciting learning opportunities to share with you.
I know you were probably expecting a lesson rather than an announcement, so I'll share
my special news with you, but I'll also include some useful vocabulary in this video.
Look for highlighted words and their definitions in the yellow box on your screen.
Be sure to watch this entire video because you don't want to pass up a wonderful offer...and
a very special contest with valuable prizes for a few lucky winners!
If you've followed me for a while, then you know I'm not someone who makes a lot of sales pitches.
I've never made a video like this, and I'll say more than once
that this is not a sponsored video. This is an announcement about two very special learning opportunities I want to share with you.
Over the years, I've searched for different ways to
extend learning beyond my videos, including live events and self-paced instruction.
Some viewers have chosen to study with me privately.
Unlike my YT videos, group classes and private lessons are not free because of the time-investment.
There's no other way for my time to be compensated
other than to charge a fee. For ten years now, I've done my best to
offer as much quality instruction as I can for free to online learners.
From the very beginning, I've always made myself accessible to my viewers.
I continue to make every effort to answers questions, respond to emails, and regularly
create practice tasks on Facebook and Twitter.
Naturally, I design my video lessons with learning objectives.
And my playlists can help you make progress within a skill area,
for example, mastering punctuation or intonation.
But one option I haven't provided up to now is a fully structured course
that covers all skills at all levels of proficiency.
I know some of you would greatly value the chance to enroll in a comprehensive English language program,
So I'm very happy I can share a special offer with you.
There are two parts to this announcement, so please listen closely:
My Oxford English is an online language course.
This self-study program was designed by Oxford University Press,
which is part of the prestigious University of Oxford in England.
Together English Language Learning and I have been able to create a unique opportunity for those who are ready
to make a serious commitment to their language studies.
My Oxford English is a course that has mostly been sold to large institutions and big companies.
Of course, the budget of a large corporation is much higher than what an individual student
can pay, so when English Language Learning first reached
out to me, one of my main concerns was how low the price could go for my viewers.
Keep watching because I'm going to tell you about a significant discount, and you'll
also learn how you just might get some top quality instruction for free!
Many of you are likely studying for academic or professional reasons.
It's very helpful to know where your current level of English is and where you need to be.
One widely accepted system to measure English proficiency is the CEFR,
the Common European Framework of Reference for languages.
My Oxford English is aligned with the CEFR,
so you can be sure that your studies with this program
cover the topics and skills that you need to advance to the next level.
Studying with an online course that's designed to fit the CEFR will help you prepare for
standardized tests, like IELTS and TOEFL.
My Oxford English has 12 modules.
Two modules combine to make up one level.
There's an online assessment to determine your current level, and then you work your way up through the course.
I bet many of you will only need one or two levels of this course in order to reach your goal.
A fully structured course that covers all skills at all levels is never going to be free,
especially if it's designed by top educators.
If you're serious about studying English on a daily basis to reach a new level of proficiency,
it's time to consider making an investment.
The folks at English Language Learning have helped me secure a very good discount.
One level usually costs $478.
Through my affiliate account, I'm able to offer my YouTube viewers access to this course for only $269.
That's a savings of more than 40%.
$269 will buy you one level of the online course. One level has two modules.
Each module offers around 50 hours of learning.
If you keep in mind that a qualified private instructor can charge between $50 and $100
for a one-hour lesson, then $269 for 100 hours of study is a remarkable value.
Let me explain again that this is not a sponsored video. That means I'm not making money for this announcement.
But I will earn a small percentage of the sales through this offer, and let me tell you that it's an exclusive offer.
No one else is offering the same deal at this time.
Up to 500 of you can get this discount by using my link.
The offer is only available through my channel, English with Jennifer. And the deal ends when 500 have been sold.
English Language Learning has already dropped the price of My Oxford English for 500 of you,
but in another couple of minutes I'm going to tell you how three of you can
get part of the course for free! So stick around.
Here are some important details about the My Oxford English course.
It's a self-study course, but there's a virtual tutor for support.
You can study on a PC or tablet. A module is available up to six months, but
with a 20-minute daily commitment, a module can be completed in three months.
With two modules per level, you can expect to move up one level in six months.
Each time you complete a module, you're awarded a certificate that recognizes your achievement.
The course targets all skills: reading, writing,
speaking, and listening. There are video lessons with conversations in work and everyday settings.
Oxford University Press is obviously based in the UK, so you shouldn't be surprised
to know that the course videos use British English.
However, the vocabulary and grammar notes are available in American English.
You'll also gain access to the online dictionary, which includes British and American spellings.
In my opinion, the mix of British and American English is not a drawback, but
rather a benefit. We live in a global world, and English is
a global language. Being able to handle different varieties of English is an important skill to have today.
I'm still here on YT, and you can hear my American English as much as you want,
but listening to conversations in a range of situations with other speakers is a good thing.
Some of you may question whether it's worth spending over two hundred dollars on a self-study program.
There are many programs out there, so how do you know which one, if any, is worth it?
One way to make a wise decision is to consider the writers and the publishers. Who are they?
Oxford University Press is a global publisher with an established reputation.
Partly what you're paying for is the guarantee of quality instruction. A leading publisher like Oxford assembles
a strong team of writers, editors, and designers.
Some of you may know that I've written for another big publisher, so I have experience working on a writing
team for print and digital materials.
It takes a lot of planning, writing, and revising.
I learned so much from my co-writers and my editors. We held one another to a very high standard.
And I believe you can expect a high standard of instruction from Oxford University Press.
You're paying for the quality of the course, the expertise of the writers.
The My Oxford English course has an 87% Completion Rate and a 92% Learner Satisfaction score. Those are very good numbers.
I understand that even at a savings of 40% or more, some of you may not find it easy to pay for this self-study course.
That's why I pushed even harder to gain an amazing offer for at least three of my viewers.
English Language Learning understands my commitment to delivering quality language instruction to as many people as I can,
and they, too, care about making education accessible.
This is why English Language Learning has agreed to my request. I'm allowed to offer a single module of the My Oxford English course
to THREE of my YouTube viewers for FREE. This is a prize worth $239!
Remember two modules make up one level of this online course.
So three of my YouTube followers are going to get one module for FREE.
To make it fair, I'm going to hold a contest.
All of you will have the chance to win one of these three valuable prizes.
You'll need to answer a question and send your answer to me through the contact form on my website.
The links you need to enter the contest will be in the video description.
All eligible entries will go into a drawing. It will be random drawing.
I'll choose three names at random, and I'll announce the winners on Facebook on October 20.
If you're one of the three winners, I'll contact you directly by email.
Finally, and listen closely, if you're a winner and if you've already purchased the special offer for $269,
then English Language Learning will double the prize so that you get another whole level
of the My Oxford English course for free on top of the level that you've already purchased.
That means that $269 could get you two levels of the My Oxford English course.
Here's the task: In one of my vocabulary lessons on YouTube, I teach expressions about making your dreams come true.
Please write a sentence with one expression from that lesson.
The link to the lesson is in this video description.
Your sentence must use the expression correctly.
Small mistakes are okay, but your sentence must be understandable.
Again, all eligible entries will go into the drawing.
Send your answer to me through the contact form on my website
All links that you need are in the video description.
Send your answer by October 17.
Be sure to include your full name, country, and your email address.
All eligible entries will go into the drawing. I'll choose three names at random.
And I'll announce the three winners on my Facebook page on October 20. If you're one of the three winners, I will contact you directly by email.
To recap, I'm sharing two unique learning opportunities with you.
First is the chance to get one level of the My Oxford English course for only $269. This deal ends when 500 of you have made this purchase.
Second, the contest. Three of you will get ONE module (that's half a level) for free.
All contest details are in the video description.
Remember if you've already purchased a level for $269, get another level for free -- if you're a winner. The prize doubles.
I hope to receive your contest entries by October 17.
All contest details are in the video description.
It just might be your name I that read on my Facebook on October 20.
Good luck to all of you who enter the contest.
And I hope many of you will take advantage of this incredibly low price of $269 for one level of the My Oxfored English course.
Remember the deal ends when 500 of you have made this purchase.
And you can enter the contest until October 17.
As always, thanks for watching and happy studies!
