Modern Foreign Languages

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

New for 2007/08: Urdu.  We are pleased to begin scheduling Urdu study sessions as part of our Projector MFL programme. We hope to organise more events throughout 2008 for Urdu language students and welcome your feedback and ideas to facilitate this.

Please contact us at education@cornerhouse.org with any suggestions for the languages programme and don’t forget to ask us to add your details to our Projector database to keep you updated.
