Course objectives
In addition to providing an artistic experience, film production serves as a suitable study material through which students become familiar with the various registers of spoken language, including its colloquial form. In this attractive form, they can also learn about the period in a specific cultural, historical and social context. Therefore, the axis of the online meeting is a selection of representative excerpts from the film production of the past decades. The individual films will serve as a starting point from which to base the online discussion.
Learning outcomes
Before each meeting, participants first get acquainted with the selected film and after watching it, they answer questions in a worksheet that also serves as an outline for the discussion held directly in the synchronous online meeting. Depending on the film, supporting themes will be selected and further developed.The film's treatment of various themes gives students the opportunity to reflect on social norms, patterns of behaviour and cultural practices. By comparing the differences portrayed in the film with their own life experiences, students gain insight into the multifaceted nature of social dynamics and cultural identity.
