They provide an addi onal learning mode through visuals, sound, narra on, dialogue, and storytelling. When designed with accessibility features such as cap ons, sub tles, and clear audio, audio-visual resources can also support students with diverse learning needs and encourage wider par cipa on.

The ac vity demonstrates that carefully selected movies, supported by structured discussions and reflec on, can effec vely complement classroom teaching. Incorpora ng accessibility features can further support inclusive learning. Similar experien al and audio-visual learning ac vi es are therefore recommended in the future, aligned with course objec ves and learning outcomes.
