Abstract

Since the invention of cinema in the 1890s, film has always been considered one of the sources of teaching and learning, especially for language learning.The technological advancements of the 20th and 21st centuries have impacted various aspects of life, particularly second language learning.Such influence covers various aspects of language acquisition, including listening, reading, writing, grammar, and pronunciation.Despite the increasing diversity of language teaching tools thanks to technology, movies hold a special position in second language instruction.The current research is an inductive-experimental study of second language teaching (specifically Persian language) in South Korea and China. It aims to answer why movies have become a prominent part of the education process for stabilizing the second language, despite the availability of various educational methods and tools.? The research results indicate that certain components are crucial: A) Similarity to real life , B) Synchronisation of audio and visual aspects, C) Attention to cultural aspects, D) Education through gestures, E) Having the ability to infer language structures based on the situation, F) Being attentive to the practical application of the language, G) Simultaneously using standard and everyday language, H) Incorporating artistic elements that have maintained movies as one of the primary resources for second language education and despite the availability of various teaching means, it works to solidify its position.
