Abstract

Films can be used as a pedagogic means to improve language learning, based on the premise that, they provide real-life language input. In addition, films have the potential to provide language learners audio and visual stimuli; therefore they are essential tools in the development of foreign language proficiency. The present study aims at exploring the effectiveness of films as authentic materials on language learning. The questionnaire that was conducted on 80 undergraduate students in this study yielded that films can foster language learning.
