1. Touching movie “Forrest Gump” and Encourage participation
We’re watching “Forrest Gump” in class. It’s very touching movie. And Tom Hanks is sooooooooooooooooooo handsome. While we’re watching movie, I’m falling in his attraction. Anyway, the movie choice was excellent. This movie inspires self-confidence and dream in our mind.
Throughout our movie class, we’re quite enthusiastic because of the participation coupon. It makes people to watch movie with attention and also to encourage participation in class. Even some students who do not usually answer well try to participate and make an answer.
2. We can improve listening and learn new expression
Maybe almost Korean students study TOEIC test. But sometimes we cannot understand western people’s talk, because we don’t know real life expression well. In the movie, we keep listening English, especially expression using in real life, and learn many expression in the movie. Characters in the movie use idioms and slangs. If we study with movie, we can learn new expression as well as improve listening skill.
3. Common Sense and History
By watching the movie “Forrest Gump”, we could learn about history, for example, Vietnam War, assassination of American presidents and Watergate scandal etc. And we could get to know the details through assignments that teacher gave us. It helped us accumulate a lot of common senses so it was really worthwhile.
