THE CANTERVILLE GHOST, THE FILM

After reading the book The Canterville Ghost  in class with my students in the third year of Secondary Education, we have seen the film with the same title and based on the tale by Oscar Wilde.

The film was made in 1944 in the USA. It was directed by Jules Dassin and the script was written by Edwin Harvey Blum. We saw the film in English with subtitles in Spanish so that everyone could follow it easily but still had plenty of exposure to the English language.

My impression was that all my students enjoyed the film, but just to make sure, I'd love all of them to write a comment on the film. I would also appreciate if you could all sign with your real names and would comment on the differences between the film and the book, besides mentioning any other details about the director's job, the sceneries, the actors and actresses, etc....

I'm looking forward to your comments!!

The longest way always starts with a single step




Studying English might be seen as a very long way, and it is not easy, indeed. Actually, it might take a whole life, but the way doesn't have to be necessarily hard.

It's up to you! You can make it easy.  Just walk step after step.

There's no hurry, but don't stop walking!





There are tons of reasons to study a foreign language, just find yours!!
