Abstract
Our study aimed to investigate students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards using British films
to enhance students’ pronunciation. The basis of our current study is to prove the
effectiveness of using British films on second-year EFL students' pronunciation enhancement
at the English Department at Abbes Laghrour khenchela-university. This research was
conducted using mixed methods; Qualitative and Quantitative designs, along with a simple
descriptive design. Moreover, data were collected from 40 second-year students using
questionnaires, and from five teachers in the English department using Interviews. The
research results show that the majority of participants are interested in watching British films
as they do with British pronunciation. In addition, the findings proved that students and
teachers have positive attitudes towards using British films to improve pronunciation since it
is considered a motivational tool. Moreover, some English teachers are using film scenes in
the classroom and they strongly encourage the idea of involving them in the teaching-learning
curriculum. Thus, using British films as a teaching-learning tool has a positive effect on EFL
students’ pronunciation, consequently, the research questions are answered and the research
hypotheses are effectively confirmed.
