movies can provide the opportunity for vocabulary practice. 83.33% and 82.05% of
the participants agreed that they could understand vocabulary. They are usually based around
a theme or topic that can provide the context for vocabulary learning. More than 20% of the
students were able to correctly answer the questions on the comprehension tasks on 8 out 10
movies in the first round. Though most of the movie clips were frequently repeated in three
rounds, this repetition offers greater exposure to the words and can help to improve
vocabulary acquisition. However, more than 10% of the participants were not able to finish
the tasks. In addition to key vocabulary and structures, the students can learn about cultural
issues of English speaking countries through movies. 62 % of the participants agreed or
slightly agreed that watching the clips helped to understand vocabulary and phrases used by
native speakers. Herron, Cole, Dubreil and Corrie (2000) offer evidence that showing videos
in the classroom allows instructors to expose language learners to authentic cultural
information. Practicing English listening skills through movies is more applicable for the
students who do not get any regular English class to learn cultures in the target language.
