- on techniques for improving our English when watching films:
WHY WE SHOULD WATCH FILMS IN ENGLISH:
> to get used used/accustomed to listening to
vocab/grammar/expressions/functional language
> to get the right pronunciation
> to get a feel for the natural language
> to feel we are able to use this language accurately –
and with the right pronunciation
WHAT EXACTLY WE SHOULD DO TO IMPROVE OUR ENGLISH WHEN WE
WATCH FILMS:
> watch a favourite film in your language first [to get
to know the plot/language/context]; then in English with English subtitles; and
lastly, in English without subtitles
> watch the film in English with no subtitles; take notes
in English and your own language; then check through your notes with a
dictionary and make an accurate summary
> watch the same film/scene as other students/friends;
then discuss it with them
> chose a simple/children’s film; put on the subtitles
only if you have a problem understanding
> do some research on-line
> stop the film and review/listen again to that scene
> read the synopsis/book/chapter first; then watch it;
compare/contrast the book/film
