Yeah, movies are cool and I've used em when teaching college students here in good ol China.
I guess I could've chosen a few better ones to show but instead, I chose to modernise their vocab quickly and showed them the "Wedding Crashers". Needless to say, when a lil bit of nudity (top half and female only) came on screen, the girls were disgusted and the boys, well, they were happy as would be normal.
I then chose to show them a slightly less provocative one, can't remember the title now, but it evoked a few comments also, so I gave up. Movies are a useful tool alright, but we have ta remember that some of our students aren't exposed to what we're exposed to, on screen, at a young age and as a result, they're not immune to what they see. In China, the students, even when at college and 20+ years old, are still thinking of themselves as girls and boys because this is what their parents call them and it's kinda the way society is here....... try explaining that in our countries, you're no longer a boy/girl at age 18. They don't understand it and it's kinda hard to break them out of that mentality.
I gave up and got them doing other things because the one thing we don't need is any whiff of impropriety or indecency, even when it's only a movie shown to improve their English.
A few extra cents worth there!
