Movies are being used nowadays as a tool for learning. Educational movies use story-telling power of movies to inspire, motivate and educate students. Learning any language is most effective when movies are watched in that language. The accent, pronunciation, etc. can be perfected by watching movies. Educational movies can also help educate students in the field of science, history, geography and any other subject. These movies usually impart positive morals and lessons on life. Movies intended to teach languages can have translations in the form of sub-titles. Educational movies targeted towards children can have popular animated cartoon characters, which make these movies more appealing to the children.
Schools and other institutions to teach languages use movies. Some movies, which are produced just to teach the language usually, pause the flow of the movie where a narrator will explain the sentence structure, grammar, difficult words, etc. and then the movie resumes. These educational movies can also help in self-learning, where individuals can buy DVDs or buy them online. Educational movies can teach mythology, popularize regional cultures and languages, teach children about science, etc.
A large number of such movies are available online, some of them are free and some others need to be bought. also recorded lessons in the form of clips are available which are also very effective since they can be played over and over again which would not be possible in conventional learning where a teaches an entire class and individual attention is not possible.
