The Application of English Original Movies in English Teaching
Introduction:
In recent years, there has been a growing trend in using English original movies as a valuable resource in English language teaching. English original movies not only capture the attention of students but also provide a more authentic and engaging learning experience. This paper aims to explore the benefits and challenges of using English original movies in English teaching and shed some light on effective strategies for incorporating them into the classroom.
Benefits of Using English Original Movies in English Teaching:
1. Exposure to authentic language: English original movies provide students with exposure to real-life situations and natural language use. By watching movies, students can improve their listening and speaking skills, and gain a better understanding of colloquial language and cultural nuances.
2. Enhancing listening comprehension: English original movies offer students the opportunity to practice listening to a variety of accents and speeds. By repeatedly watching and listening to the dialogue, students can improve their ability to understand native speakers' speech, recognize different intonations, and develop their listening comprehension skills.
3. Vocabulary expansion: Movies often present various vocabulary terms that may not be commonly encountered in textbooks. By watching English original movies, students can learn new words and phrases in context, resulting in a more meaningful and memorable learning experience.
4. Cultural awareness: English original movies provide a window into the culture and customs of English-speaking countries. By watching movies, students can gain a deeper understanding of different cultures, traditions, and societal issues, ultimately contributing to their overall language proficiency and intercultural competence.
5. Engagement and motivation: Movies are inherently engaging and captivating. By incorporating English original movies into English teaching, students are more likely to be motivated to learn and actively participate in classroom activities. This can lead to a more enjoyable and effective learning experience.
Challenges and Strategies:
While using English original movies in English teaching has numerous benefits, it also presents some challenges that need to be addressed:
1. Language barriers: English original movies typically use fast-paced dialogue and contain slang and idioms that may be challenging for non-native speakers. To overcome this challenge, teachers can make use of subtitles, pause and discuss important scenes, and provide pre- or post-viewing activities to clarify any language barriers.
2. Content suitability: Some English movies may contain inappropriate content, such as violence or explicit language, which may not be suitable for all classroom settings. Teachers need to carefully select movies that are age-appropriate, culturally sensitive, and aligned with the learning objectives.
3. Time constraints: Full-length movies may be too long to be shown in one class session. Teachers can consider showing selected scenes or excerpts that are relevant to the lesson objectives, followed by class discussions and activities related to the movie.
4. Lack of diversity: English original movies often represent the cultural experiences of English-speaking countries. Teachers should strive to include movies from different regions and cultures to provide a more diverse and inclusive learning environment.
Strategies for effectively incorporating English original movies into English teaching:
1. Pre-viewing activities: Before watching the movie, teachers can introduce key vocabulary, cultural background, and relevant historical events. This scaffolding helps students better comprehend the movie and enhances their overall understanding.
2. During-viewing activities: Teachers can provide students with worksheets or questionnaires to follow along with the movie. This encourages active listening and comprehension. Pause the movie at certain intervals to discuss important scenes or difficult vocabulary.
3. Post-viewing activities: After watching the movie, teachers can engage students in discussions, debates, or role plays related to the movie. Students can also write movie reviews, create their own alternate endings, or utilize the movie as a springboard for further research and project work.
Conclusion:
Incorporating English original movies into English teaching has proven to be an effective and engaging approach that benefits students' language learning journey. By providing exposure to authentic language, enhancing listening comprehension, expanding vocabulary, promoting cultural awareness, and increasing engagement and motivation, English original movies offer a rich and dynamic resource for language teachers. While some challenges exist, with appropriate strategies, these challenges can be overcome to create a more diverse and effective English language learning environment.
