| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | This study highlights the importance of English Language Films as autonomous learning tools for pre- med students, with three research objectives: 1) to study how the pre med students become motivated in their learning English through watching English Language Films: 2) to examine the extent to which the pre-med students develop English proficiency as autonomous leaners through watching English Language Films and 3) to explore the pre-med students’ attitude towards watching English Language Films as autonomous learning. Mixed research methods were applied. Questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from 100 pre-med students in a private university in a suburban area outside of Bangkok. Reflection after watching English Language Films and Semi Structured Interviews to elicit the pre-med students’ opinions towards watching the films were employed to collect qualitative data from 10 pre-med students. Incorporating evidence from questionnaire, reflection questions after watching English Language Films and a semi structured interview with the researcher, this study concluded that English Language Films are very useful tools to learn English autonomously. Pre-med students were highly motivated when watching the English Language Films and used them to increase their vocabulary, improve their pronunciation, improve their reading skills, and their cultural awareness. English Language Films give pre-med students a chance to hear, read and watch people converse in English, giving them valuable practice with the English language in a fun and stress-free setting. |
