【Course Objectives】

The aim of this course is to improve conversational fluency and refine the four key language skills while deepening understanding of social and cultural issues as reflected in English language film. Critical analysis of near real-world social situations as reflected in contemporary movies provides an opportunity for the language student to improve listening skills and speaking fluency.

Core Goals:
1. to improve conversation skills and build confidence to discuss social issues
