Teaching and learning English with films
It seems that everyone is eager to teach and learn with films these days because films have so much to offer both students and teachers. They
bring native speakers into the classroom, relieving the teacher of the necessity of providing the only model for pronunciation, intonation, and register;
motivate students to learn by utilizing interesting story lines and character interaction which makes them eager to understand what people are saying;
increase oral comprehension: students can understand much more from watching a video sequence (in which body language accompanies speech) than from merely listening to an audio tape;
stimulate student interaction and communication with other classmates by having them discuss the film itself or ways in which it relates to their lives and experiences;
promote cross-cultural awareness by enabling students to observe similarities and differences between the lives of the characters in a film and those of their own families and friends;
…and, most importantly,
are adaptable for use with students at any English-language proficiency level, from elementary through advanced: students can understand and work with material that seems above their level if the accompanying activities are at their level.
The major thing for the teacher to remember is that a film in the classroom has a purpose beyond entertainment: it is a tool to help students learn English. Therefore, they must be actively engaged in their own learning process, not passively sitting back. There must be a specific purposein watching a sequence, usually in the form of an activity or viewing task that helps students focus on the content of the sequence they are watching
