Course description

In this course you will watch 4 short documentaries (around 20 - 40 minutes each) on 4 different topics. You will watch the documentary BEFORE the lesson. While watching the documentary, you will have some optional homework tasks to complete that will help you to understand the main idea and learn new vocabulary. During our lesson we will discuss our thoughts and opinions on the documentary with the help of some thought-provoking questions and interactive tasks. The documentaries will change each time this course is offered but some examples include: - AI & Education - Memories: How they are formed and why they can't be trusted! - Remote work & the Gig Economy - Twitch Streaming: The effects of living online - Fast Fashion: The impacts of consumer culture This course is perfect for advanced level learners (C1) who want a place to express their thoughts and opinions on a wide range of topics and take part in meaningful discussions.
