Hello everyone! I have some very exciting learning opportunities to share with you.

00:07
I know you were probably expecting a lesson rather than an announcement, so I'll share
1
7320
6400
00:13
my special news with you, but I'll also include some useful vocabulary in this video.
2
13720
6680
00:20
Look for highlighted words and their definitions in the yellow box on your screen.
3
20400
7020
00:27
Be sure to watch this entire video because you don't want to pass up a wonderful offer...and
4
27420
6960
00:34
a very special contest with valuable prizes for a few lucky winners!
5
34380
7020
00:42
If you've followed me for a while, then you know I'm not someone who makes a lot of sales pitches.
6
42680
5440
00:48
I've never made a video like this, and I'll say more than once
7
48120
5080
00:53
that this is not a sponsored video. This is an announcement about two very special learning opportunities I want to share with you.
8
53240
10560
01:03
Over the years, I've searched for different ways to
9
63860
3120
01:07
extend learning beyond my videos, including live events and self-paced instruction.
10
67000
8100
01:15
Some viewers have chosen to study with me privately.
11
75100
4440
01:19
Unlike my YT videos, group classes and private lessons are not free because of the time-investment.
12
79540
8080
01:27
There's no other way for my time to be compensated
13
87620
3940
01:31
other than to charge a fee. For ten years now, I've done my best to
14
91560
6599
01:38
offer as much quality instruction as I can for free to online learners.
15
98159
6581
01:44
From the very beginning, I've always made myself accessible to my viewers.
16
104740
5970
01:50
I continue to make every effort to answers questions, respond to emails, and regularly
17
110710
6070
01:56
create practice tasks on Facebook and Twitter.
18
116780
4820
02:01
Naturally, I design my video lessons with learning objectives.
19
121640
3980
02:05
And my playlists can help you make progress within a skill area,
20
125620
5520
02:11
for example, mastering punctuation or intonation.
21
131180
4620
02:15
But one option I haven't provided up to now is a fully structured course
22
135860
6160
02:22
that covers all skills at all levels of proficiency.
23
142020
5860
02:29
I know some of you would greatly value the chance to enroll in a comprehensive English language program,
24
149340
7160
02:36
So I'm very happy I can share a special offer with you.
25
156540
4420
02:40
There are two parts to this announcement, so please listen closely:
26
160960
5400
02:47
My Oxford English is an online language course.
27
167120
4320
02:51
This self-study program was designed by Oxford University Press,
28
171440
4600
02:56
which is part of the prestigious University of Oxford in England.
29
176040
5780
03:02
Together English Language Learning and I have been able to create a unique opportunity for those who are ready
30
182180
7920
03:10
to make a serious commitment to their language studies.
31
190100
4740
03:15
My Oxford English is a course that has mostly been sold to large institutions and big companies.
32
195020
8020
03:23
Of course, the budget of a large corporation is much higher than what an individual student
33
203080
6580
03:29
can pay, so when English Language Learning first reached
34
209670
3810
03:33
out to me, one of my main concerns was how low the price could go for my viewers.
35
213480
8540
03:42
Keep watching because I'm going to tell you about a significant discount, and you'll
36
222120
6240
03:48
also learn how you just might get some top quality instruction for free!
37
228360
6660
03:55
Many of you are likely studying for academic or professional reasons.
38
235020
5460
04:00
It's very helpful to know where your current level of English is and where you need to be.
39
240480
8360
04:08
One widely accepted system to measure English proficiency is the CEFR,
40
248840
6720
04:15
the Common European Framework of Reference for languages.
41
255560
5560
04:21
My Oxford English is aligned with the CEFR,
42
261120
4860
04:26
so you can be sure that your studies with this program
43
266040
3130
04:29
cover the topics and skills that you need to advance to the next level.
44
269180
6640
04:35
Studying with an online course that's designed to fit the CEFR will help you prepare for
45
275860
6920
04:42
standardized tests, like IELTS and TOEFL.
46
282780
5720
04:48
My Oxford English has 12 modules.
47
288500
4040
04:52
Two modules combine to make up one level.
48
292600
4960
04:57
There's an online assessment to determine your current level, and then you work your way up through the course.
49
297560
8240
05:05
I bet many of you will only need one or two levels of this course in order to reach your goal.
50
305800
8180
05:14
A fully structured course that covers all skills at all levels is never going to be free,
51
314040
6300
05:20
especially if it's designed by top educators.
52
320340
4720
05:25
If you're serious about studying English on a daily basis to reach a new level of proficiency,
53
325070
6830
05:31
it's time to consider making an investment.
54
331900
5480
05:37
The folks at English Language Learning have helped me secure a very good discount.
55
337380
5840
05:43
One level usually costs $478.
56
343240
6160
05:49
Through my affiliate account, I'm able to offer my YouTube viewers access to this course for only $269.
57
349420
9680
05:59
That's a savings of more than 40%.
58
359120
4320
06:03
$269 will buy you one level of the online course. One level has two modules.
59
363520
8100
06:11
Each module offers around 50 hours of learning.
60
371620
4440
06:16
If you keep in mind that a qualified private instructor can charge between $50 and $100
61
376060
7480
06:23
for a one-hour lesson, then $269 for 100 hours of study is a remarkable value.
62
383540
10680
06:34
Let me explain again that this is not a sponsored video. That means I'm not making money for this announcement.
63
394340
8360
06:42
But I will earn a small percentage of the sales through this offer, and let me tell you that it's an exclusive offer.
64
402860
7840
06:50
No one else is offering the same deal at this time.
65
410700
5920
06:56
Up to 500 of you can get this discount by using my link.
66
416700
6380
07:03
The offer is only available through my channel, English with Jennifer. And the deal ends when 500 have been sold.
67
423080
10820
07:13
English Language Learning has already dropped the price of My Oxford English for 500 of you,
68
433900
7180
07:21
but in another couple of minutes I'm going to tell you how three of you can
69
441080
5500
07:26
get part of the course for free! So stick around.
70
446580
5700
07:32
Here are some important details about the My Oxford English course.
71
452340
4820
07:37
It's a self-study course, but there's a virtual tutor for support.
72
457220
6440
07:43
You can study on a PC or tablet. A module is available up to six months, but
73
463720
7840
07:51
with a 20-minute daily commitment, a module can be completed in three months.
74
471580
6080
07:57
With two modules per level, you can expect to move up one level in six months.
75
477680
6940
08:04
Each time you complete a module, you're awarded a certificate that recognizes your achievement.
76
484700
7760
08:12
The course targets all skills: reading, writing,
77
492500
4220
08:16
speaking, and listening. There are video lessons with conversations in work and everyday settings.
78
496720
9960
08:26
Oxford University Press is obviously based in the UK, so you shouldn't be surprised
79
506680
7060
08:33
to know that the course videos use British English.
80
513750
3990
08:37
However, the vocabulary and grammar notes are available in American English.
81
517740
6060
08:43
You'll also gain access to the online dictionary, which includes British and American spellings.
82
523820
7100
08:52
In my opinion, the mix of British and American English is not a drawback, but
83
532900
5780
08:58
rather a benefit. We live in a global world, and English is
84
538680
5270
09:03
a global language. Being able to handle different varieties of English is an important skill to have today.
85
543950
8870
09:12
I'm still here on YT, and you can hear my American English as much as you want,
86
552880
6360
09:19
but listening to conversations in a range of situations with other speakers is a good thing.
87
559240
8220
09:27
Some of you may question whether it's worth spending over two hundred dollars on a self-study program.
88
567460
7140
09:34
There are many programs out there, so how do you know which one, if any, is worth it?
89
574600
7140
09:41
One way to make a wise decision is to consider the writers and the publishers. Who are they?
90
581740
8080
09:49
Oxford University Press is a global publisher with an established reputation.
91
589960
7160
09:57
Partly what you're paying for is the guarantee of quality instruction. A leading publisher like Oxford assembles
92
597160
9280
10:06
a strong team of writers, editors, and designers.
93
606440
4880
10:11
Some of you may know that I've written for another big publisher, so I have experience working on a writing
94
611520
7400
10:18
team for print and digital materials.
95
618920
4020
10:22
It takes a lot of planning, writing, and revising.
96
622940
4600
10:27
I learned so much from my co-writers and my editors. We held one another to a very high standard.
97
627540
7200
10:34
And I believe you can expect a high standard of instruction from Oxford University Press.
98
634920
6780
10:41
You're paying for the quality of the course, the expertise of the writers.
99
641700
6560
10:48
The My Oxford English course has an 87% Completion Rate and a 92% Learner Satisfaction score. Those are very good numbers.
100
648260
14300
11:02
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.
101
662560
10080
11:12
That's why I pushed even harder to gain an amazing offer for at least three of my viewers.
102
672780
8180
11:21
English Language Learning understands my commitment to delivering quality language instruction to as many people as I can,
103
681080
8580
11:29
and they, too, care about making education accessible.
104
689660
5180
11:34
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
105
694840
9820
11:44
to THREE of my YouTube viewers for FREE. This is a prize worth $239!
106
704740
8540
11:53
Remember two modules make up one level of this online course.
107
713340
5440
11:58
So three of my YouTube followers are going to get one module for FREE.
108
718800
7220
12:06
To make it fair, I'm going to hold a contest.
109
726020
3360
12:09
All of you will have the chance to win one of these three valuable prizes.
110
729400
5940
12:15
You'll need to answer a question and send your answer to me through the contact form on my website.
111
735420
7860
12:23
The links you need to enter the contest will be in the video description.
112
743380
6220
12:29
All eligible entries will go into a drawing. It will be random drawing.
113
749600
5940
12:35
I'll choose three names at random, and I'll announce the winners on Facebook on October 20.
114
755580
9140
12:44
If you're one of the three winners, I'll contact you directly by email.
115
764760
6500
12:51
Finally, and listen closely, if you're a winner and if you've already purchased the special offer for $269,
116
771280
11020
13:02
then English Language Learning will double the prize so that you get another whole level
117
782320
6820
13:09
of the My Oxford English course for free on top of the level that you've already purchased.
118
789200
7380
13:16
That means that $269 could get you two levels of the My Oxford English course.
119
796620
8980
13:25
Here's the task: In one of my vocabulary lessons on YouTube, I teach expressions about making your dreams come true.
120
805600
10660
13:36
Please write a sentence with one expression from that lesson.
121
816300
5660
13:41
The link to the lesson is in this video description.
122
821980
4920
13:46
Your sentence must use the expression correctly.
123
826900
4700
13:51
Small mistakes are okay, but your sentence must be understandable.
124
831600
5520
13:57
Again, all eligible entries will go into the drawing.
125
837180
5280
14:02
Send your answer to me through the contact form on my website
126
842580
4900
14:07
All links that you need are in the video description.
127
847560
3860
14:11
Send your answer by October 17.
128
851420
3280
14:14
Be sure to include your full name, country, and your email address.
129
854780
7240
14:22
All eligible entries will go into the drawing. I'll choose three names at random.
130
862020
7360
14:29
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.
131
869380
11640
14:41
To recap, I'm sharing two unique learning opportunities with you.
132
881160
6240
14:47
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.
133
887420
14900
15:02
Second, the contest. Three of you will get ONE module (that's half a level) for free.
134
902400
7660
15:10
All contest details are in the video description.
135
910060
3840
15:13
Remember if you've already purchased a level for $269, get another level for free -- if you're a winner. The prize doubles.
136
913960
11100
15:25
I hope to receive your contest entries by October 17.
137
925180
4220
15:29
All contest details are in the video description.
138
929400
3940
15:33
It just might be your name I that read on my Facebook on October 20.
139
933380
6960
15:40
Good luck to all of you who enter the contest.
140
940340
4300
15:44
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.
141
944640
11280
15:55
Remember the deal ends when 500 of you have made this purchase.
142
955920
4840
16:00
And you can enter the contest until October 17.
143
960760
4900
16:05
As always, thanks for watching and happy studies!
