This study aims at analyzing, from students’ perception, how a set of activities with the movie Wonder (2017) contributed to the development of learners’ speaking skills in intermediate and advanced English classes. In order to reach the objectives, two questionnaires were applied in two classes of a language course: one before the movie exhibition and the development of activities and the other right afterwards. In the students’ perception, the movie, for addressing the bullying theme and being an authentic and interesting material, contributed considerably to the oral production in the class, increasing students’ motivation to communicate.

Keywords : Movies; English teaching and learning; Motivation; Speaking.
