Video lessons on DVD to accompany the books were just released this past spring (2013). DVD lessons feature comprehensible input via gestures (and English definitions), action sequences, and skits, and "circling" questions. Lesson books also include a reading selection for each lesson, and workbooks help to provide additional opportunities for students to interact with the vocabulary and structures.
