The Case for Film Literacy
Why is film literacy – the ability to read and
analyse the moving image as a text - important?
By the time they are 3 years old, most children have learned the
language of the moving image; that is, the codes and conventions
through which moving images tell stories. (Look Again Teaching
Guide, British Film Institute, 2005)
In 2019 it is becoming increasingly important for children and young
people to understand this language; so much of what we learn and
understand about the world is no longer through written text – it’s
through images, and on screens.
![Page 4: Using film and moving image in Mandarin language teaching ... · The Case for Film Literacy Why is film literacy –the ability to read and analyse the moving image as a text - important?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062921/5f0360ee7e708231d408ebd8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why use films in the Language
classroom?
• Cultural understanding: entry point into introducing
often complex cultural issues and can stimulate debate.
• Relatability: is one of the closest media to real life.
• Accessibility: film enables a more inclusive classroom
• Authenticity: language in action, natural conversation
in a range of contexts
