 | Our great new monthly lesson plan for A2 - B2 level learners looks at writing film reviews. In this lesson learners revise some film review vocabulary through pair-work discussions. Then they write their own film review after analysing a model. They read each other's reviews and have a class vote about which film looks the most interesting. Read more

Following the success of the conference, we were asked by TeachingEnglish to write an article about the film. In this brief question and answer session, we will explain the ideas behind the creation of the film, how we went about making it, who and what was involved and where we see video and film going in the future of ELT.
