| Abstract: | It is possible for an individual to adapt to the society in the different country he lives in by learning the culture of that society and socializing. This study aims to enable Nigerian foreign students studying in Cyprus to learn the culture of a foreign country through cinema. The problem of culture conflict forms the basis of the study. The movie "Eagle's Nest", which tells the story of Christian Merie, who has just joined the Turkish family, learning and adapting to Turkish culture, was used as teaching material in the course. Different scenes from the selected movie were shown and the students were asked to write an evaluation note. Students' grades and reactions were examined using the qualitative content analysis method. After all; It was found that students were able to relate the content of the film to cultural theories and concepts very well and produce solutions to intercultural problems. |
