Post CPE - Special Video Lesson

Lesson 11

1. Using film & video http://seansenglishclassroom.pbworks.com/w/page/11442630/Film%20Lessons
2. Kath & Kim Accents, Australian English, Slang http://seansenglishclassroom.pbworks.com/w/page/11442641/Kath%20And%20Kim

Note the use of malapropisms for example when Kim says she's ravishing (very beautiful, enchanting) when she really means she is hungry - a mistaken combination of  famished and ravenous. 

Holiday Project
Choose a film that you like and that you think could help you with your English. Write a brief blog post or review (not a plot summary!) about it then analyse a short (3 - 5 minute scene). What are the language (grammar/vocabulary) or pronunciation features you notice? Pay particular attention to idioms, slang, accent, intonation and fast connected speech.  In our first lesson after the holidays (10th January) we will discuss your findings.
