Abstract
This study explores the application of the Production-Oriented Approach (POA) in the context of teaching English through films, aiming to enhance language acquisition and proficiency in the dynamic field of language education. The POA, which emphasizes active participation and practical application within the learning process, has received significant attention in recent years. By examining the implementation of the POA in an English through Films course at a university setting, this study investigates how the approach can effectively improve students’ language skills. The research delves into the nuances of utilizing films as a medium for language learning and assesses the impact on students’ language abilities, with a focus on their active engagement and practical application of the learned knowledge. The findings contribute to the growing body of literature on innovative language teaching methodologies and offer insights into the effectiveness of the POA in enhancing language acquisition through film-based learning.
