Can I buy individual lesson plans without taking out a suscription?
Dear Wendy,
Yes, you can buy individual lesson plans and viewing guides. Just click on the “Check out the guide” or the “Check out the lesson plan” button and you’ll be taken to a page where you can buy the guide or lesson plan. Alternatively, you can go to the Film English Club page https://filmenglish.wpengine.com/club/ and select the viewing guides or lesson plans you wish to buy.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Kieran
Would it be possible to do more film guides in future that are on Netflix? Hardly any of the ones you’ve released recently are on Netflix. I don’t know how to get hold of a Billy Elliott if its not on Netflix
Dear Abigail,
Yes, we’ll be having more viewing guides for films which are available on Netflix shortly. With regard finding films which are not available on Netflix, i would recommend using the JustWatch website https://www.justwatch.com/ You simply search for the film you want to watch and your country, and you find where the film is available in your country. For example, here is a link which shows you where Billy Elliot can be viewed in France https://www.justwatch.com/fr/film/billy-elliot
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Kieran
I have looked at your website with mich interest many times but have not been able to ascertsin at which GER level tue lesson plans are designed for. Perhaps this information is included in each film lesson plan. It would be very useful to know at which level each Filfilm m lesson is available at before purchase.
Yours hopefully
Dear Claire,
All of the short film Lesson Plans state the CEFR level. All of the feature-length film Viewing Guides are aimed at students with B1 level and above.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Kieran
