Abstract
А smart syllabus with high effectiveness increased through the use of English-language videos is significant in a foreign language teaching. Despite the numerous publications on problems of learning English with the use of English-language films, there are practically no studies that include an analysis of the effectiveness of using films in grade 8 based on the students’ preferences and their level of English proficiency. The aim of the study is to identify the specifics of the English-language videos influence on teaching speaking English. Research methods are an experiment and a survey of students. The results of the study are described: 45.6 % of students prefer feature films as a type of English-language videos for learning speaking English. The experiment allowed to establish that the motivation of the students of grade 8 to learn to speak English depends more on the success of this process than on the level of the chosen film interest. The obtained results contribute to the development of the theory of teaching English in grades 8, and also represent an effective program of teaching English in schools.
