This TV Advert media production workshop is a two-day language programme being offered to Year 12 speakers of Bengali.
The aims of the project are to give speakers of Bengali the opportunity to develop their written skills, to raise the profile of world languages in general, and to provide young speakers of world languages the chance to explore media production skills.
The first day will consist of high-level Bengali language lessons as well as sessions with current SOAS students working towards producing a script for a short film about London. The second day will consist of the filming and editing of the video, and a screening of the completed short films, which will be made available after the event. Students will also receive information about studying languages at universities as well as about other language qualifications.
The students
The students should be Bengali speakers in Year 12. Priority should be given to those who would be the first generation in their family to attend University. This is a widening participation event forming part of the Capital L-Routes into Languages project, and would be particularly suited to those who have taken Bengali at GCSE or are studying it for AS Level.
