Pedagogy of English
Engagement is the key to effective
instruction. A direct path to engagement is simply to tell a good story. Documentary film, done well, can engage and instruct through storytelling.
Using documentary movies to put a
point across can be quite effective in helping the student understand the English
subject much better because it essentially gives them the entire topic in a
well-structured format.
They provide a great way to integrate new content and
language learning at the same time – givingstudents the opportunity to learn
about a whole range of subjects and ideas, at the same time as learning
English.
The linguistic purpose is to provide advanced learners with
opportunities for live practice in the four skills of language.
The writing skill is also related with the other three skills
and learners should be exposed to many types of authentic material in order to
help them master this skill, which can be beneficial to their academic writing.
Several studies choose documentary film as authentic input in their writing
skill classroom.
Documentary film proved to be the authentic input which
covered linguistic and informational purposes and fulfilled the demand of
communication.
