Activities outside your classroom
Education should never be simple or monotonous. It requires diversity. In other words, classroom education should not be the only type of education, as activities outside the classroom are important, too. No matter what kind of education you take outside of the classroom, any external activity helps develop interpersonal abilities.

Watching films is a fun way to improve fluency of your students and a lot more fun than studying with a textbook. Here are five reasons for learning English with films.
​
-
REAL ENGLISH: Textbooks are great for learning vocabulary or grammar, but nothing is better than listening to real native English.
-
BETTER PRONUNCIATION: Hearing native speakers in movies will teach your students the correct way to say things.
-
LIVE CONTEXT: In films, new vocabulary is used as part of a story and this context helps students to learn and remember them more effectively.
-
NATIVE ACCENTS: When watching films, many regional accents are used and this will help your students to understand them better.
-
EXPLORE CULTURE: Language and culture are closely connected. Why not study both at the same time by watching original films?
