By Nicky Jan

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: This work deals with the interaction in the English as a Foreign Language classroom with a special focus on different tasks. For future teachers it is essential to keep in mind that the use of different media in the classroom gives students the opportunity to learn foreign languages in various ways and in a meaningful context. Therefore the use of games, movies and other media is considered to be very important, because they are flexible and the students might show a higher interest in media that they already know. Students learn more easily with games, if they do not have the feeling to be learning actively. Furthermore they might already have heard of a movie or might have read the book and as a result the connection to the classroom will be more successful. It is outstanding that language in nearly every activity, task and game is used in a meaningful context, very often the intercultural communicative competence in fostered and various skills are needed.
