Let’s watch amazing short films and learn English along the way!
Benefits of learning English through films
One of the most important benefits of learning English through movies is that you can learn real-life and conversational English. No oversimplified sentences or super standard pronunciation nobody uses!
If you already have an intermediate level, you don’t need another coursebook. You have to find a way to use authentic materials during your classes and get continuous feedback on your speaking skills.
I’ve been teaching English with films for more than a decade now!
I taught, for example,
- Pronunciation with the film Up in the Air starring George Clooney and Vera Farmiga,
- Grammar using dialogues taken from the movie Notting Hill
- Business English with The Pursuit of Happyness (By the way, Will Smith’s performance is amazing!)
I also prepared my students for language exams using short films by independent filmmakers.
What I realized is that it’s so much easier for my students to learn the language through their interests.
If you’re passionate about cinema, I can only encourage you to start studying English with films because, with the right guidance, you can significantly improve your listening skills and become a more confident speaker.
