Welcome to Movies and Current Events

This blog is the online access point for Gachon University students seeking information on what is happening each week in Movies and Current Events with Greg Lewis. 

Movies and Currents Events is an elective course for those wishing to explore English through TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design), and the Pechakucha format for presenting stories to an audience. The course is designed to develop students’ English language proficiency in a socially relevant setting with a focus on all four language skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Movies and Current Events emphasizes awareness of social commentary through visual media, discussion of related current topics, and four presentation assignments. Students are expected to fully participate in all presentations and discussions.

For those wishing to explore TED and Pechakucha on their own, here are the web addresses;

Fall 2013 classes are on Fridays 9am - 11:50am in the Global Zone (GZ), room B159-C.

Enrolled students will receive contact information for Greg in week 1.
