Abstract

Language teachers have been using films in their classes for decades, and there are a number of reasons why film is an excellent teaching and learning tool. They provide students with examples of authentic English. Films can bring variety and flexibility to the language classroom by extending the range of teaching techniques and resources, helping students to develop all four communicative skills. A whole film or sequence can be used to practise listening and reading skills, and can serve as a model for speaking and writing. Films can also act as a tool for follow-up tasks such as discussions, debates on different topics, role plays, reconstructing a dialogue or summarizing. In the paper a sample of a film-based lesson with a number of activities worked out by the authors is given.
