Die Text-Bild-Kombination Filmplakat
The paper discusses film posters as specific combinations of linguistic and pictorial signs. Bearing in mind that film posters are advertising media for special purposes, attention is paid to their function, structure and the processes involved in their perception. In the final part, the paper brings the didactic potential of film posters into focus. As a means of teaching and learning, which in terms of size and accessibility is relatively well manageable and provides authentic language and culture input, film posters can prove very motivating. In context of reading and communication skills as well as culture learning and media awareness, they should claim a firm place in foreign language and culture education.
