| description | Today it is accepted that learning a language by seeing, hearing and by getting to know the culture is a more appropriate approach. In this sense, films in foreign language teaching are important audio-visual tools in terms of reflecting the fineness of the language, culture and customs and traditions, clothes and lifestyle of a community. In language teaching, it is very important to know what words and expressions are used in which context and environment and to pronounce them correctly. Many language learners benefit from this audiovisual tool because of the contributions of films to foreign language learning. Especially in the developing of listening comprehension skills, learners prefer to watch films on foreign language. There are three options: watching the film in its original language without subtitles, watching the film in its original language with subtitles in source language and watching the film in its original language through subtitle translation in target language.
