TEACHING CAN BE FUN WITH FILMS JASNA VUJČIĆ High school Matije Antuna Reljkovića, Slavonski Brod, Croatia jasna.vujcic@gmail.com ANICA PERKOVIĆ University of Josip Juraj Strossmayer, Osijek, Croatia aperkovic@pfos.hr DUBRAVKA PAPA University of Josip Juraj Strossmayer, Osijek, Croatia dpapa@pravos.hr ABSTRACT It came to our attention that film in an excellent medium for the explicit teaching of different aspects of the English language such as syntax, morphology and semantic. Furthermore, it is connected with motivational purposes, since learning objectives are achieved through the performance off different tasks and students are motivated when they are familiar with the topic and visually see the characters involved.

In the end, we can say that they add fun to the language classroom. Keywords: Learning with Films; Student Motivation; Fun in the Language Classroom 1.
