Abstract

In recent years, with the reform of College English Teaching in China, listening has occupied a great proportion in both the examination content and the classroom teaching. When everyone is seeking a high-efficiency, fast teaching method, the use of English original film teaching methods arises spontaneously. Its authentic speaking style, real language environment and rich cultural connotation not only improve the listening comprehension ability of English majors, but also enable students to intuitively understand the culture of Western countries. In this study, by referring to a large number of books and documents, this paper puts forward corresponding strategies for various problems arising from the use of English original film teaching in colleges and universities. English original film teaching can not only create a better learning environment, stimulate students’ interest in learning, but also enable students to actively participate in class discussions.
