Re: Using movies

Movies are brilliant for immersion in the language but are not the best use of lesson time in my view.

Students can watch movies in their free time so a teacher can keep a library of movies that are lent out to students, or better, encourage the school to keep such a resource.

A teacher could show the start of a movie in class to whet the students' appetite and then let them watch the whole film in their own time.

Another idea is to show the first half to one group and the second half to another and let them discuss in pairs what happened and piece the whole thing together. But how do you stop them watching the whole thing...?
