Abstract

As a tool to enhance the understanding about society and culture, using films in classroom activity is interesting and challenging. Visual elements become the advantegous point as learners can easily understand what is being reflected on the screen. Teaching topics about culture somehow has drawbacks since film also depicts stereotypes. Realizing that showing cultural aspects through film may also preserve stereotyping, this article examines the model of screening literacy so that the inclination led to stereotyping can be lessened. It means that students should understand and analyze the content, have discussion and design a better version of cultural representation.
