Culture Studies of English-Speaking countries
Study programme
English Club is one of Linguistics School’s Centre of International Public Diplomacy projects as part of our extra-curricular education programme. A distinctive feature of this course lies in its openness: pupils from other establishments are invited to participate in each session, thus allowing for contact with Moscow schools and extending the bounds of communication for our pupils. This project is public in nature. The Culture Studies elective aims to provide a differential and individual curriculum taking into account pupils’ interests, inclinations and abilities and creating the right conditions for communication and education of all pupils according to their future vocational interests, values and aims in relation to their further education.
The course aims at developing pupil abilities to use the English language as an educational and self-study tool in culture, country and language studies as well as developing their aesthetic perceptions through their study of English and other cultures in order to satisfy their modern cognitive interests in finding out more about the world they live in and improving their inter-cultural communication skills. The course encourages pupil mobility giving them the opportunity to learn and communicate freely in a foreign language. International studies also carry developmental aims. Pupils develop such positive personal characteristics as citizenship, patriotism, tolerance and empathy.
The club’s themes include the study of the historico-cultural roots of British civilization, symbols, the cultural-historical vector in the development of Britain, the sociocultural features of the British education model, the linguistic, architectural and religious heritage of Britain, a sociocultural portrait of a British family not to mention Britain’s political system.
After each stage in the study cycle general non-standard sessions are conducted in which pupils present their creative projects individually, in pairs or in groups.
Sessions are conducted by our English teacher and Director of British Programmes, sessions every Tuesday at 15.30Daryl Robert McCreery.
We welcome all those wishing to take part in English Club
