Abstract | Films are a great medium to use not only to practice English, but also to facilitate intercultural learning. Today English is a global language spoken by people from many countries and cultural backgrounds. Since culture greatly impacts communication, it is helpful for teachers to introduce lessons and activities that reveal how different dialects, forms of address, customs, taboos, and other cultural elements influence interaction among different groups. Numerous films contain excellent examples of intercultural communication and are highly useful resources for teachers. In this article, the author discusses the importance of teaching intercultural communication and suggests films that match specific cultural categories. Then she describes some activities to use when showing a film in the classroom and presents a task-based project involving the use of films. (ERIC). |
