This article presents the Film in Language Teaching Association (FILTA)
project, a community of practice (CoP) whose main goals are first to engage
language teachers in practical uses of film and audio-visual media in the second
language classroom; second, to value the artistic features of cinema; and third,
to encourage a dialogue between language teachers in order to share activities
and creative approaches to the use of film and audio-visual texts in language
teaching. This article examines the origin, development, experiences, and
practices of the international and multilingual community of language teachers
that forms FILTA (a community which includes teachers of Arabic, English,
French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish, and Urdu). It also looks at some
recent European audio-visual and education policies that permeate current
trends of film literacy in language teaching, and considers future challenges,
including how to maintain growth and further promote engagement within this
diverse CoP.
