Viewing Films to Improve Your English Introduction: When you can pretty much say anything you want to and you’re getting close to understanding most of what English-speakers say, you soon decide you’re fluent. But this will only last until you watch an American movie. At first you may feel lost and humbled. Movies are difficult to understand precisely because they represent a “real world,” at least from a linguistic perspective. This can make watching them incredibly frustrating, especially if you’re at that level where you feel fluent, but still can’t follow a lot of the dialogue. And yet, the fact remains that there is probably no better source of linguistic input than a good movie, if only you could understand what is being said! Movies are an excellent tools for those English language learners who fall into the linguistic zone of «frustrated fluency» discussed earlier. Viewing films aims to gain certain proficiency and upgrade your English, to give you a chance to enjoy original movies in English and to get in touch with the culture of English-speaking world. The purpose of this book is to make this process easier and more effective. *** The authors would like to thank the American teacher Ruth Sperlock for cooperation while creating this teaching aid. 6
