This paper is an attempt to suggest an effective teaching model for college Screen English. Forty eight students participated in answering survey questions after they had finished watching the movie Prime. The questions were mainly about whether they found any positive changes in learning English and also, if their language skills were improved by the class. The results show that Screen English has helped the students feel more interested and motivated in learning English. They have newly come to realize the importance of English pronunciation, particularly regarding stress and phonological processes. In addition, a new awareness of other cultures was found to stimulate their intellectual curiosity, thus facilitating language learning. Teaching materials from Prime are presented including some phonological processes of the English language and information about American culture. Finally, a teaching model for Screen English is suggested with an emphasis on teaching pronunciation and the various cultures of the English-speaking world. |
