​As well as providing valuable modern language teaching resources that introduce students to the spoken language, culture and mind-set of people in other countries, Languages on Screen is also about introducing young people to the language of the moving image and promoting the aims of 21st Century Literacy.

This means showing students that audio-visual narratives are complex, multi-layered texts that need to be analysed to be properly understood.

​How to use this resource

Moving Image Education (MIE) involves watching and listening to a range of short film texts, discussing and analysing them; possibly generating discursive and creative written work, storyboards and scripts, exploring genres and types of texts. On the Languages on Screen website you can try starter activities, view lesson guides and watch the video tutorials. Log in using Glow to view and download films.
