ABOUT THIS COURSE
This one is action-packed! Full of video clips, LOTS of new vocabulary and thought-provoking themes. (I’ve also managed to throw some comedy in to lighten the serious mood 👍😉)
We’ll work our way through the first unit which is dedicated to telling lies: highlights from his lesson include a hilarious clip from ‘Would I lie to You‘ and a lecture from one of our EDA friends, Joelle from Oxford.
We’ll then move on to talking about fake and misleading news before ending the module on the topic of crime.
