How can movies help students learn English?
Movies can be used as a follow on from a novel study
- There are a huge number of movies that have been adapted from books which allow for book to movie comparisons or simply as a reward for finishing the book.
Learning from movies is motivating and enjoyable
- Sometimes students need a change in style, and movies are generally an integral part of a student's life.
Movies provides authentic and varied language
- It's always a good idea to introduce students examples of English in real
situations. This includes accents different to your own.
Movies gives a visual context
- This gives the student the ability to interpret the language in full visual context. To see such visual supports as facial expressions and gestures simultaneously.
- Movies can also act as a springboard for follow-up tasks such as discussions,
debates on social issues, role plays, reconstructing a dialogue or summarizing.
