Dear Teachers of Arabic, Mandarin, Italian and Urdu,
Cornerhouse, Manchester will organise two INSET days for teachers of Arabic,
Mandarin, Italian and Urdu wanting to learn about using film to teach
languages. Learning a language through film can be a fun, stimulating and
engaging experience for your students. This INSET aims to provide teachers
with the necessary tools, resources and knowledge to read, explore and
interpret film, as well as offering practical suggestions for language
activities and exercises to be applied in the classroom.
Carmen Herrero will provide a brief overview on why teachers should use film
and the positive impact it has on language learning. Practical breakout
sessions will enable teachers to analyse a scene from a film in their
specialist language. With the aid of a "how to read a film" guide, teachers
will also explore different filmic approaches, learn about models for using
film in the language classroom, in addition to creating workable activities
to be used to further enhance the learning of languages.
This is the first time we are offering INSET for teachers of Community and
Lesser Taught Languages and it would be fantastic if we could get teachers
from your school involved. We are currently seeking expressions of interest
from teachers who teach one of the four languages (mentioned above), because
we plan to host the INSETS on the dates (below):
SAT 27 FEB 2010*, 11:00-14:00
MON 01 MAR 2010*, 17:00-20:00 (twilight session)
[*These are provisional dates and are subject to change, depending on the
demand for this event]
If you or someone from your school is interested in attending one of the
above INSETS, please secure your place by emailing myself on
info@debbiechan.co.uk. Remember to state your name, address, telephone
number, language specialism and which date you can attend.
