| Abstract | This study is an attempt to investigate the effect of adding culturally motivating films to the classroom program to see its effect on the students´ attitudes toward the foreign culture/language in language learning. To achieve this end, a quasi-experimental method was chosen to deal with this issue. Two intact classes (each class comprising of ten students) were selected to form experimental and control groups. A questionnaire was given to the subjects of both groups in order to assess their attitudes toward the foreign culture before administrating the treatment. After the administration of the treatment, an alternate form of the same questionnaire was given to the students of both classes to evaluate the possible changes occurring in their attitudes toward the foreign culture as a result of the treatment. At the end, the result showed that a significant change occurred in the students´ attitudes toward the foreign culture, logically as a result of the treatment. |
