Tae-Yong Han wrote asking about using film and video for teaching the four
skills.
I would second the recommendation for "Video in Action" - a very useful and
practical book.
Another book that I have found useful is: McGovern, J. (Ed.) (1983) Video
Applications in English Language Teaching: ELT Documents : 114 , Oxford,
Pergamon.
I also maintain a website devoted to using video in EFL which might provide
some useful reading. It can be found at:
