18、yone. Todays lecture is about learning English by means of watching movies. English learners have a big advantage over learners of other languages: Hollywood is in America and it makes English-language movies. So, if you know English and you like movies, why dont you watch movies in English? You can

19、 have fun and, at the same time, learn a lot of English. The first question we are going to answer is why watch movies in English. If you are a fan of movies, you will notice that they are much better in the original. Watching a dubbed film will never be as good as watching the original version. Why

20、? Because in the original version, the actors voices are real. Everything is just like the director imagined. Learning English by watching movies is learning by input. The learning process is similar. First you get lots of correct English sentences into your head. Then you can imitate them and you c

21、an make your own sentences. And isnt that why you are learning English to be able to make your own sentences? That is why watching movies is such a great way to learn English. Of course, there are important differences between movies and books. With books, you learn how native speakers write in Engl

22、ish. With movies, you learn how they speak English. You learn what words they use. When speaking, native speakers use words and phrases that you often wont find in a book. Spoken language is different from “book language“. In many movies, the dialogue is real spoken English. Movies also let you lear

23、n informal and slang words which are not yet in English dictionaries. You learn how they say these words. Movies let you improve your pronunciation, not only grammar and vocabulary. If you listen to Americans or Britons speaking English, you can learn to speak like them. You learn to understand spok

24、en language. Movies are made for native speakers, not for learners of English. So the actors talk fast, just like native speakers talk in real life. Then, the second question is how to learn as much as possible? You wont learn anything from the movie if you dont understand it. You probably wont enjo

25、y it, either. This is one big problem with movies: They are much more difficult to understand than books. If you dont understand a word in a book, you can simply look it up in a dictionary, because the word is written there. With a movie, you sometimes hear something, but you dont know what it is. S

26、ometimes you dont even know if youve heard one word or two. There are other reasons why listening is more difficult than reading, and they all mean one thing: If you want to understand a movie, you have to know a lot of English wordsand not only their spelling, but also their pronunciation. So, you

27、may wonder: What to do when you dont understand something? If you are playing the movie from tape or DVD, you can stop it whenever you dont understand a sentence. You can then play the sentence many times and perhaps youll be able to understand all the words in the sentence. If you still dont unders

28、tand a word or two, you can try to look them up in a dictionary. Most DVDs let you turn on subtitles. With subtitles, there is no problem with quick or unclear dialogue everything is just written on the screen. It is also easy to look up difficult words in your dictionary, because you know their spe

29、lling. The problem with subtitles is that they make you lazy you stop listening and concentrate on reading. This is not good if you want to exercise your listening skills. Therefore, you should probably try to watch movies without subtitles. Turn subtitles on only if youre having a hard time underst

30、anding the sentences in the movie, and it doesnt help when you listen to them repeatedly. Moreover, the movie guides can help you when watching movies. There is a great alternative to subtitles. ESL is a website which has “guides“ to popular movies. A guide is a list of over 100 difficult sentences

31、from a movie with explanations. Now the most important thing: You first read the explanations; then you watch the movie. So, when youre watching the film, you already know the necessary vocabulary! We think this is the best strategy for watching movies, because: It feels great to understand a movie

32、in the original! Its very, very motivating when you learn a word, and then the knowledge of this word lets you enjoy the movie. It gives you a lot of pleasure so you will want to learn more English vocabulary to understand even more. You dont have to stop the movie, or you have to stop it less frequ

33、ently. You can simply watch it and enjoy it. A guide doesnt explain all the difficult sentences in the movie. But the explanations in the guide should be enough to help you understand whats happening in the movie. What else can you do to learn from movies more effectively? The same things that you s

34、hould do when reading books. Pay attention to interesting things: new words, phrases, and grammar structures. Use your dictionary to learn about these interesting things. You can stop the movie to look up difficult words. You can also write down all the interesting sentences, and look them up later.

35、 But do use your dictionary! Add these interesting things to SuperMemo. If there is an ESLnotes guide to the movie, you can add all the sentences in the guide to your SuperMemo collection before watching the film. Later, you can also add the words that you have written down when watching the movie.

36、To conclude, dont forget the interesting way watching movies to learn English in your daily life.
