The study suggested several areas to be investigated in the future such as examining the motivational behavior of both the teachers and the students and finding out the factors that will affect the environment of BL in EFL.

The Future

A report on foreign language film exhibition and distribution in Australia was commissioned by the Research Unit of the Australian Film and Television School in late 1979. The report, which includes a directory of over 200 individuals and organizations associated with foreign language film services, will be published by the AFTS as a monograph. Presented here is a comprehensive summary of the report (excluding the directory) which indicates that although the future of ‘ethnic’ film theatres is in doubt, exhibition at alternative venues appears to have increased. Similarly, many more distributors (mainly small) have entered the market.
