Foreign Language Learning from Audiovisual Input

Beschreibung

This edited volume brings together studies that test the effectiveness of original version television for foreign language learning and the possible ways to enhance this learning process. The wide availability of on-demand streaming platforms and the popularity of television as a leisure activity grant language learners access to massive amounts of authentic original version television input, which warrants further research to maximise language learning opportunities. The edited volume features a set of empirical studies, encompassing different target languages (Dutch, English, and French) and participant profiles (young learners, adolescents, and adults), which will be of interest to applied linguists, pre- and in-service language instructors, and second language acquisition researchers working on audiovisual input. Importantly, this book includes studies on a variety of linguistic features, the majority of which have been traditionally underrepresented in audiovisual input research: vocabulary, formulaic sequences, pronunciation, pragmatics, and humour. It thus offers a comprehensive view of how original version television may contribute to foreign language development, addressing the dynamic and holistic nature of the language learning process.
