What is my movie? Describe and find movies Video Lesson: Mr. Bean Follow me on twitter This is a video lesson based around the video “Mr. Bean packs his suitcase” thanks to British Council for bringing it to my attention in their lesson plan on making predictions but I’ve adapted it for use in different ways with different levels. Kids and lower levels The aim of this lesson plan is to practice holiday vocabulary (clothes and items that go in a suitcase) and some basic grammar structure.

filmy takie jak Ty! 5 great activities for using movies in the EFL class Persuading students of the usefulness of watching English-language movies at home isn’t hard, but there are many things you can do to bring films into the classroom as well. Here are 5 great activities for using movies in the EFL class. Half in half out Choose a scene from a movie that you’d like to work on, preferably one with lots of movement and lots of dialogue. Mini-Oscars If you can set some time aside each lesson, this makes for a great project. Dub your favourite scene Great for pronunciation practice, and fun for everyone to watch, this activity consists of choosing a scene from a movie and having students practice a key dialogue (it works best with scenes that have two or three characters). Customer reviews One of the text-types that students might be called upon to write in the CAE is a review, usually of a book or a movie. Everybody likes a good movie, but not everybody has the same taste. Who’s in it? To get the most out of this activity, it’s a good idea to run it twice.

In particular, I want to focus on teen films that act as a platform for driving consumer culture. I will deal primarily with films about teenagers, not films targeted at teenagers. So how are teens to deal with their on screen representations? “The old experience of the movie-goer, who sees the world outside as an extension of the film he has just left (because the latter is intent upon reproducing the world of everyday perceptions), is now the producer’s guideline. Adorno and Horkhiermer suggest that since the introduction of the sound film, real life is increasingly indistinguishable from the movies. From the 80’s to the 90’s; a shift to the in-crowd The majority of the Brat Pack films, most notably the John Hughes directed Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink, are stories primarily about outsiders.
