Vera Cabrera Duarte (Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo) Drawing on principles of educational psychology, this presentation proposes the use of films as triggers for investigating self-esteem and motivation among despondent EFL learners at a secondary school. The activity was implemented and tested in a teacher development course and results helped shed light on the important role of the affective component in foreign language learning.
