Screen Scotland hosts a monthly series of exiting Film Education CLPL sessions. This month, the session coincides with Languages Week Scotland.
When we watch films in languages other than our native tongue, not only are exposed to incredible cinema, we also learn more about other cultures and celebrate other languages. As Languages Week Scotland 2022 approaches (31 Jan – 4 Feb 2022) we at Screen Scotland wanted to take the opportunity to explore the ways in which film viewing, film analysis and filmmaking can enhance the teaching of Modern Languages in both the Primary and Secondary classroom.
In this month’s Tuesday Team Talk, four speakers will share their experiences in combining Film Education with Modern Languages.
