Popular films in the EFL classroom: Study of methodology

Abstract

Using English Speaking Foreign Films in the EFL classroom to teach vocabulary and culture is not a relatively new idea. However, while exposing students to new lexicons and cultural situations, teachers need to use appropriate methodology to ensure that students obtain maximum learning potential. Culture, however, is not so easily taught. Rather it is absorbed through the process of language learning. This research explores commonly used listening activities, their success with the transference of culture and how to better enhance student learning through practical activities. It aims at identifying students level of recognition and recall with cultural vocabulary within popular English speaking films and how to improve them with practical activities for the common EFL classroom.
