Abstract

The study reveals that movies that address social issues can increase awareness and spark discussion among viewers. This can lead to increased empathy towards marginalised communities and a greater understanding of complex societal problems. Furthermore, these films have the potential to inspire individuals to take action and advocate for change in their communities. In this way, cinema serves as a powerful tool for social change and activism. Films can influence audiences and bring about social change, expediting justice and encouraging action against issues like farmers' and environmental problems. The success of films like Ketika Mas Gagah Pergi, Tanda Tanya, Uriyadi, Thanga Magal, Tolet, Thaneer Thannee, Kaththi, Karuthamma, Pariyerum Perumal, and Merkku Thotarchi Malai can significantly impact society. These movies shed light on various social issues such as water scarcity, farmer suicides, caste discrimination, and environmental degradation. Thaneer Thanneer is a Tamil movie that exposes the hardships of poor villages and corrupt politicians, inspiring people to fight for their rights. By portraying these issues on the big screen, filmmakers are able to reach a wide audience and create a platform for dialogue and action. Through the power of storytelling, these films have the potential to not only entertain but also educate and inspire viewers to take a stand and work towards positive change in society. Socially conscious films such as Thaneer Thannee and others have the power to spark social movements and bring about real-world change, which cannot be underestimated

Abstract

English is an essential skill in the era of globalization, supporting students’ academic development and communication abilities from an early age. However, teaching English to elementary school children still faces several challenges, including the lack of engaging and effective teaching methods. This study aims to improve students’ English-speaking skills through the implementation of the role-play method at a language course in Sidrap Regency. This research employs a descriptive approach, involving elementary school students as subjects. The training sessions were conducted in multiple phases, designed to be interactive and enjoyable, with role-playing scenarios based on real-life contexts. Evaluation results indicate that the role-play method significantly enhances students’ motivation to learn English, their vocabulary comprehension, and their ability to construct and pronounce simple sentences. The study concludes that the role-play method can be an effective teaching strategy to improve English-speaking skills among elementary school students. The findings of this research are expected to serve as a reference for educators and educational institutions in developing creative and applicable teaching methods.
