FilmClub for International Students

Tuesdays at 5pm in Ash House

FilmClub is an informal class for international students. We watch representative British films with English subtitles so that it is easier to follow the unfamiliar accents. Vocabulary sheets are provided. There is a chance to socialise before the film over a cup of tea and a biscuit and discussion about the film will take place afterwards.

See the FilmClub VLE page for schedules, details about the film and vocabulary sheets:
