Introduction

English was viewed as a door way to progress and opportunities by Indians even from the days of East India Company. This language today has obtained the universal status and connects individuals to their organizations. Thus. in a word English inter locks the entire world by its uniqueness, simplicity, richness, flexibility and immense acceptability. It is the preferred medium in higher educational institutions and professional educational institutions, especially in the field of science and technology because of its global acceptance.

Most of us think of reading as a simple passive process that involves reading words in a linear fashion and internalizing their meaning one at a time. But reading is actually a very complex process that require a great deal of active participation on the part of the reader to get a better sense of the complexity of reading, read what some experts in the field have said about the reading process what do we read? The message is not something given in advance or given at all, but something created by interaction between writers and readers as participation in a partial communicative situation. This study focused on the potential effect of motional pictures tools, audio and video communications have on the process of learning English as a foreign language compared to other traditional learning methods that do not involve the use of these tools.

The study explored the implications of integrating motion pictures in teaching. It is as a telecommunication tool has the potential to facilitate the process of learning EFL; both synchronous, real-time, online interaction in which all participants are logged on at the same time and communicate directly with each other and asynchronous, interaction occurs intermittently with a time delay, tools may neutralize the effect of physical isolation. Since positive attitudes and high motivation are the best overall predictors of success in language learning, the purpose of the study is to determine what change English competence and the affective variable of motivation will undergo when integrating motion picture tools into learning EFL.
