I think using movies,films or youtube clips in a class is an excellent teaching tool. I have used films a lot when teaching a novel study to ELL’s. Sometimes the movie helps them to understand the book better. There are many students (both ELL and native speakers)who struggle with understanding what ever the novel, poem, short story was about. Using a movie, you tube clip or documentary can help cement or even broaden their understanding of what was taught. It brings a visual picture to what was words and for some students that makes a huge difference in their understanding.
