Although I want to thank everyone, these limitations require me to note only those whose support was instrumental, endless, and tireless. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Joshua Gunn. Josh’s patience, diligence, and guidance are unmatched and I am truly blessed to be one of his advisees. Mere words are not capable of expressing how much I appreciate his efforts and his meticulous attention to detail pushed me to produce the very best work that I could. He is someone that I am proud to call a mentor and humbled to call a friend. I would also like to thank the other members of my dissertation committee.

  • ME9 Part 4 Cases
    Copyright Material – Provided by Taylor & Francis PART 4 Entertainment hen the question came before the Hutchins Commission on Freedom of the Press regarding whether the film industry was part of “the press,” the first reaction of several of the assembled scholars was “rubbish.” In their eyes, movies were di- Wversionary, escapist, and silly. What claim could one make to count movies as part of the modern media? Fortunately, a more farsighted view prevailed. Motion pictures are part of the culture and need to be looked at carefully. The commission invited Will Hays, then chief of the Mo- tion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (later the Motion Picture Association of America—MPAA), to present the case for industrial self-regulation. Eventually, the Holly- wood model of codes and intraindustry regulations was adopted by the commission as the best way of expressing social responsibility in a democratic society. On the importance of entertainment media and their responsibility to the public, the commission displayed wisdom in its landmark 1947 report. News and consumer information are vital to democratic life, but clearly, entertainment occupies most of the broadcast spec- trum and cinema screen and a healthy share of the printed page as well. From these media we receive symbolic clues concerning what we should believe and how we should act. En- tertainment, for all its recreational value, does much to educate and socialize us. Should entertainment programs be subject to ethical reasoning? Robert Redfield, dis- tinguished anthropologist

  • Practicing English Through Movies
    Practicing English through Movies Juliane Garcia Introduction This book is basically a collection of quizzes to be used in the English as a Foreign Language – EFL – classroom. Here you can find different genres of movies to be used with specific groups of students. The teacher will know the kind of movie his/her students prefer or will ask them to choose it. There are movies from different countries, in case the class objective is to emphasize accents such as American, British and Irish. All the quizzes have already been used in class. Some of the questions are based on the general understanding of the movie, but most of them are about a detail, for the fun of testing the memory, and forgetting they are in an English class. The subjects go from Christmas and family relationship to hip-hop and comics passing by discussions about the environment and terrorism. So, we are sure that the teachers will be able to use their creativity and prepare wonderful classes. There is no specific English level to use this material. It was firstly prepared to be used with upper- intermediate students in conversations classes, but it does not mean that it cannot make a really good beginners class stimulating the students to watch movies in English and developing their vocabulary through the movie and the quiz. Student’s point of view Watching movies can be a very good way to improve your English. It helps you with the pronunciation, as you listen to native speakers using the language. Subtitles can be used to understand the scenes better then you can watch them many times, with or without the subtitles.
