dc.description.abstract The aim of this study is to examine English language learners’ attitudes towards acquiring the language through watching English films. The study took place in the Eastern Mediterranean University at the English Language Teaching Department in Northern Cyprus. 80 undergraduate students volunteered to participate in the study. This study will identify if the learners believe that watching English movies would help them to acquire the English language in general and, in particular, and to improve their different types of skills, which are categorized into two types in this study: receptive skills (listening and reading) and productive skills (speaking and writing). Furthermore, it investigates to what extent participants can comprehend the differences between their culture and the English culture that is demonstrated in the movies. The study follows a mixed methods research in which a quantitative questionnaire of 22 items and a qualitative semi-structured interview were administered to the learners. The learners’ perceptions about the impact of watching English movies on their English language acquisition were positive in general. However, as far as the English language skills are concerned, they perceived them variably. Moreover, the cultural feedback that the movies are supposed to provide for the students with did not reach their level of expectations. en_US
dc.description.abstract ÖZ: Bu çalışmanın amacı, İngilizce filmler izleyerek Ingilizce Öğrene öğrencilerin sergiledikleri davranışları araştırmaktır. Bu araştırma Ingilizce fılm izlemenin genelde dil edinimine ve özelde de algısal ve üretimsel olarak iki gruba ayrılan dil becerilerinin gelişimine yardımcı olup olmadığını ortaya çıkarmak için yapılmıştır. Buna ek olarak, bu çalışma katılımcıların anadil kültürüyle hedef dil kültürü arasındaki farkları ne derece algılaybildiklerini saptamaktır. Söz konusu çalışma, karma araştırma yöntemi kapsamında 22 öğe içeren nicel anket ve nitel mülakat içeren bir çalışmadır. Ögrenciler, genel olarak, İngilizce film izleyerek dilsel becerileri konusunda edindikleri etkiler hakkında pozitif düşünmektedir. Ancak tüm beceriler konusunda böyle düşünülmemektedir. Filmlerdeki kültürel etkinin yansıması beklenildiği kadar başarılı olmamıştır. en_US
