This document provides suggestions for using films in English language classes at three different levels. It discusses how films can motivate students and expose them to real-life English usage. The document recommends choosing films that are fun, interesting, and at an appropriate language level and difficulty for the task. Three specific lesson plans are outlined using the films "Sliding Doors", "About a Boy", and "Chicken Run" to provide listening practice and teach various language skills. Additional resources for finding films and scripts are also referenced.

Why using movies in class
Movies are appealing
Learning through film viewing may still
represent a novel approach for some students
Features films are more motivating than
videos made for EFL/ESL teaching
Films present colloquial English in real life
contexts: different voices, slang, reduced
speeches, stress, accents, and dialects…
We will be introducing our students into film
classics, literature, history, etc.
