Live Lessons for Languages – French Short Films

Live Lessons for Languages is a unique event to inspire and engage your P7 - S2 French learners.

This year we have 3 short French films - funny, thoughtful, and historical - to bring language learning alive. The films are accompanied by a live language lesson in the cinema from a native French speaker trained in MIE and the Modern Language curriculum.  

The event is supported with resources developed by Glasgow City Council Modern Languages Support & Development Team.

Live Lessons for Languages is a project being developed with Scottish Screen, Teaching Learning Scotland (TLS), and Discovery.

Places are limited. To book call: 01382 909 274.
