10. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Movie
Teaching in general or English teaching in particular is a combined efforts of various components to achieve a certain goal. It means that the success of
teaching is not determined by a single component, by the roles of all components involved. However, in teaching-learning process, a teacher must bring all
components into classroom and apply them. Harmer 2001:282 states that there are many reasons why video movie
can be used in language learning: a. Seeing language-in-use
One of the main advantages of movie is that students do not just hear language, they see it too. This greatly aids comprehension, since for example;
general meaning and moods are often conveyed thought expression, gesture and other visual clues. Thus we can observe how intonation can match facial
expression. All such, paralinguistic features give valuable meaning clues and help viewers to see beyond what they are listening to, and thus interpret the text more
deeply. b. Cross-cultural awareness
A movie uniquely allows students to look at situations far beyond their classrooms. This is especially useful if they want to see, for example, typical
British „body language’ when inviting someone out, or how American speaks to waiters. Movie is also great values in giving students a chance to see such things
as what kinds of food people eat in other countries and what they wear. c. The power of creation
When the students make their own movie as media in teaching and learning process, they are given the potential to create something memorable and
enjoyable. The camera operators and directors suddenly have considerable power. The task of filmmaking can provoke genuine creative and communicative uses of
language, with students finding them doing new things in English. d. Motivation
For all reasons so far mentioned, most students show an increased level of interest when they have a chance to see language in use as well as hear it, and
when this is coupled with interesting tasks. Besides the advantages, the use of movie as media also has several disadvantages.
There are : 1

using videos, the students’ motivation, self-confidence, vocabularies, and pronunciation is improved. The use of video also made the atmosphere in the
classroom more relaxed and fun so that the students were interested in speaking. C. Conceptual Framework
In teaching-learning process, English is very important to master especially in productive skills. The students have to acquire and mastering English as a way
to face the globalization and for their future in career. Speaking is symbolized as the way people express their feeling to others. Through speaking, human able to
connect their mind in every aspect of life. They can share their opinions, thoughts, and even their emotion. In order to do that, we have to speak appropriately and
