Communicative competence in english classes at academic

Role and status - every pupil interchanges various roles during the day and the particular role 
undoubtedly influences the way they speak.
Mood, attitude and feeling – feelings have influence on language in almost all situations.
Shared knowledge – practically all conversations that pupils lead comprise to certain extent 
shared knowledge, something what both participants know and thus there is no need to say to each other.
All given components help to pupils interact each other freely in the classroom to improve their 
communication skills. In addition, using movie activities in teaching English is that movie brings fun to 
lessons, which increases pupils’ motivation and makes learning more memorable. Harmer writes that “one 
of the teacher’s main aims should be to help pupils to sustain their motivation” [4]. Pupils learn English 
easily and with interests. 
As a result, movie activities allow the student to show his or her own feelings, personality and creativity, 
to be used in the language class depending on the communicative situation. 
In conclusion, it is apparent that movie activities foster pupils’ socialization, critical thinking, 
problem solving and improve oral communication skills, by exploring different language styles and 
registers, furthermore, shy pupils can “hide behind” another character still while using their personalities, 
so they are actively involved with these kind of activities, because this “personalization makes language 
more meaningful and memorable than drilling or mechanical repetition can. Pupils are encouraged to 
speak and have the chance to communicate, even with limited language, by using non-verbal 
communication.
