From mines to art heights – 3

Within the framework of the “From mines to art heights” project the "Window on America" Center (Dnipropetrovsk , Ukraine) was visited by the group of National Mining University students. The group was accompanied by the English language lecturer: Mr. Brian Chung, the Fulbright academic exchange lecturer from New York.
The students were introduced to the book display “American Cinema”. They were also reminded about the student exchange program “Summer Work and Travel USA” and referred to respective Facebook page of the US Embassy in Kyiv.
The premises of the WOA Center were used as a site for an out-of-class training session. The freshmen were offered to watch and discuss an American movie Homeward Bound which is considered to be the benchmark of the "youth film" genre.
Mr. Brian had to stop the film on a regular basis to explain to the students cultural phenomena presented in the movie. He asked questions on the content of the film to check the students’ comprehension.
Number of participants – 20.
