Module description - Documentaries and Discussions (Elective)

Number
edd
ECTS 2.0
Level B2/C1
Overview Documentaries exploring a wide range of themes are used as a
springboard to initiate and develop discussions. This elective course focus-es on speaking skills and extending vocabulary knowledge enabling more effective communication with confidence. By drawing on and applying the language of these documentaries - both facts and opinions - students will improve their speaking skills. The valuable skill of relating information (retelling) is a cornerstone of this language learning elective along with vocabulary building activities which facilitate the transformation of words from the students' passive vocabulary to their active one.
Learning objectives Students can:
  • evaluate their opinions on controversial issues and exchange ideas with one another through discussions
  • acknowledge others' viewpoints on the problems we face today, and examine and analyse these in relation to their own ideas
  • defend and justify their arguments using evidence
  • give an account of information in their own words after watching and listening (retelling)
  • integrate vocabulary expansion strategies going forward in their continual and lifelong learning of English
