“…To sum up, the activities given below (Table 1) are based on the data from the three interviewed teachers to teach and improve English language skills in the class: Generally, teachers preferred to give students home tasks to improve writing activities, and students performed the listening and speaking activities in their classrooms. In this study, although each teacher had strategies to enhance students' English language skills, they claimed that movie watching could be even more helpful with predetermined activities and lesson plans, which seems to reflect the claim of King (2002) and Tuncay (2014). So, the teachers provided handouts with some activities designed on the film shown in those classes before or after viewing the movies.…”

“…The usage of movies to teach the English language is a relatively new concept, but several programs across the world have integrated movies into their English language classes (Ismaili, 2013;Kabooha, 2016;Metruk, 2019;Parisi & Nick, 2016;Tuncay, 2014). Several studies examine the incorporation of movies in EFL classrooms from various pedagogical perspectives (Brown, 2010;King, 2002;Parisi & Nick, 2016;Seferoğlu, 2008).…”

“…Not just pre-viewing activities, Parisi and Nick (2016) also put significant importance on while-viewing, and postviewing activities for teaching the English language using a movie as class material. Along with strategies, researchers advised doing various activities based on movies, such as multiple-choice questions, fill in the blanks, summary writing, dialogue practising, paraphrasing, discussion, picturetelling activity, guessing quotations, self-directed comprehension tasks and movie-related writing tasks (King, 2002;Tuncay, 2014). Brown's study (2010) shows that an adequate amount of time and repetition of activities motivate learners to focus on vocabulary through dialogues that are used in the practical world.…”

“…The use of movies as materials is increasingly becoming popular in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms around the world. A good number of studies have been conducted on using movies in English language classrooms (Baratta & Jones, 2008;Brown, 2010;Kabooha, 2016;Keene, 2006;Khan, 2015;Metruk, 2019;Parmawati & Inayah, 2019;Seferoğlu, 2008;Simamora & Oktaviani, 2020;Tuncay, 2014), which show the powerful impact of movies in EFL teaching and learning processes. Seferoğlu (2008) advocates movies for the authenticity of language that they provide which facilitates the framework for interesting classroom discussions.…”

“…Besides, watching movies increases students' motivation, which nurtures a conducive language learning environment (Brown, 2010). In addition, it cultivates cultural awareness of students of the target language (Tuncay, 2014). The study of Baratta and Jones (2008) predicted improvements in the writing skill of non-native English-speaking students because of watching English movies with classroom activities.…”

Language teachers have been utilising movies in their classes for a considerable length of time. English movie-watching activities seem to be rising in popularity in Bangladesh as a valuable tool for learning a language. The present study was designed to investigate the perceptions of Bangladeshi students and teachers towards the integration of English movies to enhance students' English language skills in their English language classes. To this end, two research questions were posed, and a qualitative approach was adopted. The study involved fifteen students and three English language teachers from three private universities in Bangladesh. The analysis of the data showed that movie-watching activities were perceived as inspirational and motivational activities for both students and teachers, which reportedly helped the students enhance their micro and macro skills in the English language. The findings also indicated that movies were seen as useful resources for designing effective multi-dimensional pedagogical tasks in EFL classrooms. However, the study recommended that more logistic facilities and training may help English language teachers design effective movie-watching activities.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of various readability measures when assessing the difficulty of film materials for English Language Learners (ELLs). Library materials catering to ELLs are frequently limited to formal instruction texts and fiction materials. This study explores the feasibility of less laborious, computational text assessment methods to better understand library holdings from the perspective of ELL appropriateness. The investigation applies traditional formulaic readability measures and modern cohesion methods to film subtitle data. While text difficulty assessment with readability measures has been widely studied, there is a need to investigate which measures are most suitable for film application. In addition to evaluating existing readability measures, a more robust composite score is also presented, combining aspects of traditional readability formulas and modern cohesion methods. The experiments were conducted on real‐world datasets and tested on film data marked for difficulty by ELLs.

Media literacy is defined as the ability to encode and decode the symbols transmitted via media and to synthesize, analyze and produce mediated messages. Media literacy raises questions about the impact of media and technology, which has the potential to increase individuals' awareness about the effects of media on daily life. The aim of media literacy is to help students become competent, critical and literate in media forms because they need to interpret what they see or hear and prevent the interpretation from controlling them. Therefore, perceptions of students about their media literacy is a topic that requires attention at various education levels. The present study aimed to identify preparatory year program students' self-perceptions about media literacy and to explore whether they benefited from mass media in learning a foreign language, English in this context. Data were collected using Media Literacy Level Determination Scale developed by Karatas (2008). Open-ended questions that aimed to reveal students' perceptions of media literacy were asked with a view to supporting the data obtained from the scale. Both data collection tools also aimed to find out the factors associated with media literacy. The findings of the study are believed to open a perspective for the stakeholders in language teaching process by providing insight into the university students' stance towards media literacy.
