Overview

This book demonstrates the positive impact of using film and audiovisual material in the language classroom.

Using Film and Media in the Language Classroom is a volume that gathers new methodological trends and research proposals for practitioners and scholars interested in the use of audiovisual materials in foreign language education. It constitutes an updated and necessary reference for anybody attracted to this field, be it from a teaching, learning or research perspective. * Noa Talavan Zanon, Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, Spain * This book brings together some inspiring international specialists with new ideas on how film and media can be integrated into foreign language classes. They argue rightly that language now lives in a world of screens, and show how language learning can meet the needs of learners in this new world. * Michael Kelly, Professor Emeritus, University of Southampton, UK * In contrast to studies which focus on role plays and drama in the foreign language classroom, this book advances research relevant to audio-visual literacy, especially film, a growing pedagogical tool within the edutainment field. Not only is Herrero and Vanderschelden's book an excellent boost to multiliteracy, multimodality, and the moving image, it contains a refreshing discussion on latest developments within film, multilingualism, cultural and intercultural studies. * Maher Bahloul, American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates * Herrero and Vanderschelden's edited volume offers many useful ideas and opens up discussion concerning both multilingualism and multimodality in film-based language teaching [...] Given the scarcity of research in the field up to date, Herrero, Vanderschelden and the international contributors they brought together provide new insights into a hopefully growing field of practice. -- Jan-Erik Leonhardt, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany * ELT Journal, 2020 * The volume is a valuable pedagogical tool for every language teacher around the world. Carmen Herrero and Isabelle Vanderschelden's excellent edited anthology demonstrates the benefitsofusingmovingimagesintheclassroom andbringstogetherthelatestresearch,techniques and developments within film and, mainly, audiovisual translation. -- Conxita Domenech, University of Wyoming, USA * Journal of Spanish Language Teaching, 2020 *
