USE OF TEACHING MATERIALS (FILMS, SYBOLS, ETC.)TO TEACH INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

Film is a highly useful instructional multimedia tool for learning about and teaching cultural differences. As cultural documents, films give substance and meaning to intercultural communication discussions in the classroom. A film can be a veritable stimulus for other communicative language activities and strategies that can be practised in pre-viewing and post-viewing activities, such as improvisation, production, interaction, negotiation, and mediation.
