This affinity for watching films is apparent to most L2 educators, however the challenge becomes making such a passive participation activity into an appropriate challenge for a mixed level class of L2 learners. This exploratory review of an implemented class activity structure, which incorporates in-class L2 movie viewing and L2 discussion regarding the viewed material, has revealed positive results in regards to nourishing L2 acquisition. The following article will explain the method of this class structure, the efficacy of these methods based on survey results, as well as a review of the author’s thought structure and existing literature that lead to the implementation of this method.}, pages = {45--49}, title = {Movies and animation in the L2 classroom: Exploring the efficacy of audiovisual media on L2 acquisition}, volume = {30}, year = {2018} }
