Film is a highly successful language learning tool for MFL students, enabling them to experience, first hand, the vocabulary, accents and colloquialisms of native speakers. Study sessions are programmed to enrich the specification topics. Projector sessions in French, German, Spanish and Urdu are led by experienced University lecturers.
