―The Power of Music + The Modern Family―

002-D-212

This course is based on 4 recent films that explore the subject of growing up. In the Spring Term, students will study about the power of music to change people's lives. 'Mr. Holland's Opus' follows the career of a high school music teacher from 1965-1995 in a provincial American town, his influence on the lives of his students and the changes in American society. 'Music of the Heart' is based on a true story of a woman who started a successful violin program for underprivileged students in East Harlem, New York. In The Fall Term, students will look at the modern day issue of divorce and single parenthood. Firstly,‘About a Boy’ which looks at present day single families in UK, followed by 'Mrs. Doubtfire' which takes a humorous look at the challenge of parenting a broken family in America. In addition to weekly listening practice and dialogue analysis, students will be studying a variety of contemporary English idioms as well as having extensive conversation practice in the form of pair work and information gap exercises.

This course will focus on students' comprehension skills, especially their listening and speaking abilities. Each class will provide ample opportunity to listen to and speak in English. In addition, students will be learning and actively using a lot of new vocabulary during the year, as well as having the opportunity to practice their writing skills with regular semester reports. Finally, the themes of these films should introduce students to values and ideas which will help their understanding of foreign culture and society.
