Authors : Belmekki Asma . Baghzou Sabrina .

Abstract

Traditional teaching methods in EFL classrooms often struggle to effectively engage students, as they rely on lectures, textbooks, and repetitive exercises that can quickly become monotonous and fail to capture students' attention and enthusiasm. However, in the era of media globalization, where access to English-language films has significantly expanded, integrating films into the EFL classroom presents a powerful solution. By providing a visually stimulating and immersive experience, films appeal to students' emotions and imagination, offering a fresh and captivating approach to learning. Against this backdrop, this study aims to delve into the perceptions of Algerian university teachers regarding integrating English movies as a pedagogical tool. Employing a descriptive research method and a web-based questionnaire, the study unravels the remarkable potential of films as an invaluable asset for educators striving to create engaging and dynamic learning environments.
