Abstract:
The world of movies offers a more authentic approach to communication than traditional learning materials. The movies are a rich source of everyday expressions that can be used in the student/student environment; and they can also increase motivation to complete a task by making the flow of the lesson more engaging and enjoyable, thus generating more meaningful and communicative participation. According to an article published by the journal Theory and Practice in Language Studies, students who explore movies are more motivated, which enhances their learning in four aspects: language skills, authenticity, autonomous learning, and culture. Participants in the study demonstrated significant gains in fluency, pronunciation and vocabulary, including improvements in their writing skills through the use of subtitles (Albiladi and Abdeen, 2018). Thus, films are an authentic representation of how a language is used in real life, because they show language as it is spoken in everyday situations.
