Effects of Movies on the Students' Lexicon in English: a Case Study of Selected Schools in Masaka Municipality Christine Nakyejwe

Movies have proved to be a major bait that keeps students especially at secondary school level glued in front of television sets watching what one scholar termed as mindless entertainment. Students have different categories of movies they each excite in and these majorly include; Soap operas, High School movies and the Nollywood category. From the international perspective, it is believed that the action setting, emotions, and gestures that students observe in a video clip, produce an important visual stimulus for a language production and practice that the students cannot easily escape.
