Advanced English Vocabulary and Listening | Nations, Nationalism and Patriotism

This video outlines the origins and effects of nationalism using three books we study in my ESL course on nationalism. Then, I consider the differences between patriotism and nationalism (if there are any!).

This video is part of a series designed to help high-intermediate and advanced ESL students get good enough at English to enter a college or university, especially in the social sciences, such as politics, economics, history, geography, philosophy and business.

If you are interested in taking my ESL for Politics course, or any other course I teach, please email me at mensoelrey@gmail.com with the subject "ESL".
