The development of a short movie entitled “Present Moments” intends to assist English Lecturers to teach English Grammar. It is also based on the fact that the lecturers often find difficulties in explaining the basic concept of grammar and providing concrete examples to the students as English foreign learners. Thus, these facts trigger the researchers to develop a movie as instructional media to teach English Tenses especially Present Tenses. The present research used ADDIE development model. The product is a short movie in DVD format about teaching Present Tenses especially for students who are taking English grammar class in Faculty of Cultural Studies Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia. This product was validated by media expert and content expert. Questionnaires were used as the instruments to collect the data. The researchers analyzed the data obtained from the media and content experts by describing and categorizing all of the information into comments and suggestions. The result of the validation from the content expert shows that the movie is considered appropriate as instructional media. However, it still needs improvement especially the quality of the pictures. Meanwhile, the result of the validation from the content expert shows that the movie can be used as instructional media but it still needs some revisions. Suggestion for further research is the use of Present Tenses in the scenes of the movie should be more elaborated and optimized.

The difference between the two languages causes difficulties for the teacher and students, even in the context of higher education. However, the differences cannot be avoided because there are some fundamental differences among languages in this world. In English, the use of verb is likely influenced by the type of time and activity itself which is significantly different from Bahasa Indonesia Grammar in which the form of the verb does not depend on the time and activity. For instance, the verb “makan” in Bahasa Indonesia will make no change when it is used in different timeline: “Kemarin saya makan nasi goreng.”; “Setiap pagi saya makan nasi goreng.”; “Besok saya akan makan nasi goreng.” If those sentences are changed into English, ICEL 2019, March 23-24, Malang, Indonesia Copyright © 2019 EAI DOI 10.4108/eai.23-3-2019.2284946
