Manchester Metropolitan University

Film Education, FILTA and the Manchester Metropolitan University are organising a teacher training event for ML teachers of French Spanish, German and Italian on Saturday 26 May 10.00-3.30.

The INSET is aimed at MFL teachers who want to know more about using film proactively in their language classes. The programme will consist of plenary sessions in the morning and hands-on language specific workshops in the afternoon using the theme of immigration and intercultural dialogue as the main thematic thread. These sessions are focused more specifically on the A Level context, because the current syllabuses nearly all have a film component, but can also be very relevant for use at lower levels where film is increasingly recognised as a flexible tool for language exercises and intercultural awareness.

If you are interested in attending please  send us an email indicating what language and what level you are interested in toi.vanderschelden@mmu.ac.uk  or  c.herrero@mmu.ac.uk

Fee: £40,  lunch and refreshments are included.
