Abstract

The purpose of the present MA paper was to develop materials based on feature films to teach informal language to the students in the third year of their undergraduate program at one of the large universities in Armenia. For the above mentioned purpose the films have been selected and the materials have been developed based on the students’ advanced-level textbook ‘Cutting Edge’. The book consists of ten modules and ten films have been selected according to the number of films. The films have been selected based on the certain criteria identified to serve the students’ needs, the specific requirements of the course and its objectives. The paper also provides recommendations for the future teachers of the course as to how to use the suggested materials.
