The CLE Movie Discussion Club combines a love for film with a desire to speak English.
Participants meet monthly to discuss selected films in English. Two movie-crazy CLE faculty, Rongrong Dong and Al Evans, are the co-founders and co-leaders. Working together, they guide discussions for participants, making it easy to talk about films in English. Moviemaking techniques and film criticism issues are frequently included.
The club have watched films in numerous languages from a variety of genres. Occasional guest speakers are invited to provide cultural perspectives. Discussions frequently spill over into the club’s social media group.
The CLE Movie Discussion Club invites you to join for a love of movies, and a chance to chat in English.
