Film and language learning in Victorian schools.
- Authors
Bianco, Hana Lo
- Abstract
This article investigates the role of film in language education based on a study of the 2009 Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF). It is structured around a literature review and results from surveys of students and teachers who participated in the young people's section of the program, Next Gen. The article argues that film can provide an effective link between formal language education and natural/ immersive contexts, but discusses some limitations of normal speed feature films and viewing context. The author identifies issues and offers recommendations for the practical use of film in support of language learning.
