Abstract

Movies are pictures of real language use (accents, idioms and cultural differences). Movies help develop dialog skills, auditory understanding and articulation. Many students think movies are more interesting than conventional teaching methods. Students who engage with movies regularly build more vocabulary, understanding and confidence in language use. Movies make language use better and foster understanding of other cultures. This study considered the experiences of students and overall impact of movies on language fluency. Research showed the importance of movies as an additional, yet effective method for learning language fluency. To achieve the study objectives, the researcher conducted a quantitative study based on adapted questionnaire where 300 students participated in the study from various private colleges of city Ghotki. The findings of the study showed a positive impact of watching movies on students’ language fluency. Therefore, this research suggested the increase in use of movies to learn language fluency and to make learning motivating and interesting.
