Although movies are one of the best teaching materials for English language teaching, it could be said that movies are not well recognized as qualified material for English teaching but, rather, are considered to be an easy tool. At this point, it would be timely to review the underlying learning theories of using movies, and to maximize their use and effectiveness in English teaching. The goal of this document analysis research is to briefly describe the theoretical background and educational basis for using movies. It first examines and identifies the learning principles of movies based on three learning theories: Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism. It then draws on the reconstruction of learning process model, compounded with the learning process concepts of Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism, which shows the process path and proves the effectiveness of learning through movies. |
