Abstract
:
This article studies how the use of movies, documentaries, and cultural debates in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching fosters reflective learning, empathy, and intercultural awareness among Albanian university students. Using mixed-methods data from 155 lecturers and 470 students, the study shows that reflective audiovisual and dialogic techniques enhance engagement, communication, and cultural understanding.

The article argues for integrating reflective, intercultural pedagogy into EFL curricula. So, the higher education in Albania aligns with contemporary international standards.
