The use and utility of auditory and visual tools in language teaching is a common practice. Films constitute one of the tools. It has been found that using films in language teaching is also effective in the development of vocabulary of foreign language learners. The literature review reveals that while films are used in foreign language teaching and there are many studies in this subject, very few studies have been done in our country and this is not enough. In this study, the development of Turkish vocabulary of foreign students through films has been discussed. Examples of activities aimed at the development of reading skills through films that teachers can use in foreign language are presented.
