Abstract

This research has investigated the role of English movies in the English language classroom at Advance level. The researcher has labored quantitatively by using multiple tools like questionnaire, classroom observation and teacher‘s interview to reach research objectives. This research has the stance that using English movies as a teaching tool manoeuvres the learners to speak more in the classroom. Learners try to imitate the dialogues of the carefully selected movies and in this way they not only improve their speaking skills but can also improve their pronunciation. The significance of this work lies in the fact that English being the second language is always difficult for the learners to speak, despite the fact that they are learning English since beginner level. The learners can comprehend the language but can’t speak due to the barriers in second language learning like being bashful, lack of confidence and fear of people’s mockery. Researcher has tried to fill these gaps of second language learning by exploring the positive role of carefully selected movies in the English language classroom, which can definitely boost the speaking competency of the learners. This research has focused on the use of carefully selected movies to ameliorate the speaking skills of the learners and make them communicatively competent.
