    enjoyable
    Film provides authentic and varied language

    How to Use Films in


    Teaching?
    1. Find something you like
    2. Choose something you can understand
    70-90% of (without subtitles or other help)
    3. Dont use subtitles in your own language
    4. Watch several times
    5. Start with English subtitles, then watch
    again without subtitles.
    6. You dont have to spend a lot of time- ten
    minutes a day is better than nothing.

    Activities

    Jeopardy

    Story prompts
    Make up cards with words from a movie that your
    students had to watch. During the lesson, invite a
    student to come in front of the classroom. His task is to
    come up with a story using the words from the cards he
    extracts one by one. Another variant of this activity is to
    make up a story together with all the students. One by
    one, the students extract a card, and have to make up a
    sentence with the word each has got. They also have to
    be attentive to the previous sentences since they are
    supposed to create a coherent story.

    Voice the Characters


    Vision On/Sound Off (Silent
    Viewing)
    Invite the students to watch an episode from a move
    without sound. Their task is to voice the characters
    and to suggest what they are saying in that particular
    episode.

    The Clothespin Game


    This game is very good for checking how attentive the students were
    while watching the movie. Invite a student in front of the classroom.
    Put some clothespins on him. The class has to ask their colleague
    film-related questions. If he answers one correctly, he has the right to
    take a clothespin off. If not, he will give answers to more questions
    until he will give enough correct answers to get rid of all the pins.
    The task of the whole class is to keep the person who is in front of
    the classroom there as long as possible.

    Role Play
    Great scenes
    Episodes that were not included
    in the final script (the students
    come up with those scenes)
    Favorite scenes
    Come up with other conflict
    solutions
    Imagine that the characters lived
    in a different epoch. How would
    they react to the situations they
    find themselves then?
    Come up with another ending

    Character Interview
    Students role play a press
    conference in which reporters
    interview characters from a film

    Dear Film Friend


    The students write a letter
    to a character in a film.

    Famous Film Lines


    Students match famous lines of film dialogue with
    the names of the actors who said them.
