Abstract

English has become the lingua franca, and thus, an important tool of communication which has connected the world in a way we never thought. As important as it is, a well understanding in oral situations is needed, as without it, misunderstanding and awkward situations can take place. Pronunciation plays an important role here, since it enables an effective communication with the native speaker. In Spain, the EFL teaching methods still focus more on written skills rather than on oral skills, and thus, the teaching of pronunciation is often push in the background. Cinema provides a genuine and natural environment to work the communicative approach in a motivating way. The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative educational project proposal based on the author’s previous work (Imbernón, 2016) which serves as a model to improve the English level of pronunciation in secondary school students by means of filmmaking activities.
