Group Training

Into Film Literacy and Oracy Training

This session will explore exciting approaches to teach literacy through film and a range of engaging activities to try out with your learners.

We’ll introduce you to a key framework, which will help you to break analysis down into manageable chunks for your learners. You’ll take part in fun literacy-focused activities, using highlights from engaging short films while also developing your knowledge of the basic elements of film.

Along the way, you’ll discover how film can be a powerful tool for supporting oracy, helping learners to build their confidence in speaking, listening and expressing their ideas clearly. You’ll come away with some great ideas to help learners develop their comprehension, analytical and creative writing skills – all through the excitement of film.

After the session, you’ll have access to the session presentation which includes film highlights and ready-made activities that you can run with your learners.

This session is for educators of 5–18-year-olds. If you are having trouble accessing this session or if you have any additional accessibility requirements, please contact onlinehelp@intofilm.org
