Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of learners' preference for animation movies in EFL English classes. In this study, four classes of 124 college students that participated in the English screen class employed an animation, Alice in Wonderland. This study examined the different activities of three categories of pre-study, while-study, and post-study. First, on the analysis of studying activities of 15 items, the results showed meaningful differences depending on the students' gender. That is, female students were more interested in mostly all of the activities, while male students' interests were skewed to some post-study activities. Second, comparing the differences of studying interest among the three groups, the low group is more concerned with the pre-study activities, while the higher group is generally interested in the while studying and post-study activities. Third, on the analysis of correlation between the three level groups and activities, the results indicated meaningful differences in some activities. In summary, based on the results of this research, it is necessary to consider the learners' variables and focus on the learners in the English screen class. Further, teachers should apply these results to the management of their screen class and to the development of teaching materials.
