Movie English and Culture belongs to The Practical English Course Group. This course aims to create a relaxing environment where students effectively learn English while entertaining themselves with movies. On top of that, the teacher will lead the students to cultural details which might easily be neglected. Blockbuster and classic movies from different English-speaking countries will be chosen for the learning of English expressions, discussion of ideas, and elements regarding culture, as well as literature. Parts of the movies will be adopted for the use of oral practice; the cultural and literary meaning underlying the movies will also be pointed out for the in-depth understanding of both English and movies.
