Projector is a collaboration project between Routes NW & Cornerhouse Manchester. This is a year-round education programme, which uses film, moving image and contemporary art to enrich students’ learning and bring innovation to the classroom. Throughout the year we have a variety of MFL study sessions specially programmed to support GCSE students of French, German and Spanish, all led by native language speakers.
Each of our study sessions use film as an exciting and accessible way to encourage students to use their language skills. Students will enjoy a specially selected film, screened in the target language with English subtitles. Sessions are supported by contextualising introductions, which provide information about the themes and characters of the film along with information about the film's director and place within film history and culture. Following the film, students complete language exercises based on the film using their new vocabulary.
Films are selected to complement GCSE specifications and provide excellent material for topic-based work and oral exam preparation.
Maggie Hoffgen will present an interactive study day during which students will complete AS and A2 level language exercises. Discussion will focus on themes of education, young people’s rights and responsibilities and relationships. Maggie Hoffgen will also encourage students to consider their own personal reactions to political and social issues.
Screening: The Wave (15)
(Die Welle)
Dir Dennis Gansel / Germany 2008 / 98 mins / In German with English subtitles.
A high school teacher’s unusual experiment to show his students what life is like under a dictatorship spins horribly out of control when their movement takes on a life of its own.
