“Park, Joo Eun. “Using Movies in University-Level Liberal English Education.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.2 (2011): 225-47. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the use of movies as part of a liberal English curriculum at the university level. Movies and their scripts are valuable learning tools in the university English classroom. The use of movies in the university English curriculum has six merits. These merits include the increase of students’ learning interest, the improvement of students’ listening ability, students’ absorption of idiomatic expressions, the possibility of role play, the students’ unique exposure to and understanding of native English speakers’ culture, and liberal education. In this study, I focus on the liberal English curriculum at S University. I suggest a lesson procedure. It is about Screen English. The main feature of the procedure about Screen English is the use of four language skills, while focusing on listening and speaking. I have analyzed students’ learning interest and their response when I taught English using my lesson procedure. I conducted the main experimental study on each class of the lecture. Above all, my results have shown that it is more effective to use movies to teach English. In conclusion, the use of movies in a university-level English curriculum provides a unique and valuable linguistic experience, as well as liberal education for students. (Shingu University)
