Innledning
Most students, if asked, say that they have learned English from films, games or magazines. Very few people in general seem to learn any practical English in school at all.
In fact, the younger generation seems to have acquired a better skill for English than the previous generations before them, why is that? It might have to do with the increase of globalization and better access to good technology.
Utdrag
There is an obvious barrier between how students learn and how the teacher teaches the students. Teachers seem to be stuck in the past, when films where an unusual sight in the classrooms, and they had to teach the students every word individually.
While the newest generations that are still in school or just graduated, seem to use a more modern approach. A good solution to this problem might be to combine the two methods of learning and teaching together.
Teachers should start asking the students how they wish to learn a new language and then implement that wish into the classrooms.
If they wish to learn through films, then the teacher can pick educational films and select new keywords related to the film that the students will have to learn.
That way it can be both modernized, educational and entertaining at the same time. We all know that it is easier to learn through visual representation and listening.
At least it is more fun for the students to watch a film or a short video than writing down 40 new English words for a test.
Instead they can learn those 40 new words through Films and videos and then after watching, the class can repeat the new keywords together.
It is a pretty ideal situation, the students have more fun, which makes it easier to learn, it will improve their skills when it comes to communicating in English and their teamwork skills might improve as well.
Films also show the students the different tones and speeds at which people can speak. This will better their skills at listening and understanding English on a deeper level.
