This Abstract deals with the overwhelming evidence of why English TV shows are beneficial to the improvement of one’s overall English proficiency. There are four areas which this Abstract wants to concentrate on:
You can pick your own genres of interest
In former decades, we were at the mercy of our own native Television to learn a language but now due to the introduction of Netflix, a whole new world of language programs, not only in English but in many other languages as well. The sheer variety of content is staggering.
Your sentences become more natural
If you need to learn about the vocabulary on any subject, there will be a program suited to your needs. One way is to try and watch something that you haven’t seen before. For instances, you could watch a reality show or a documentary series. Also, you can find interest in many types of English, such as Australian English. Many students have picked up an Australian accent just by watching these shows.
Curiosity is the motivation
Another way to learn English is by heading for a venue where large groups of people meet such as an Airport or a Railway Station. If you are travelling it is essential to learn English to be able to communicate with many different types of people. When you look at programs, concentrating on Vocabulary at the Airport, it will help you concentrate on your next experience flying. One can divide the lesson into three parts a) at the Airport b) on board and c) for travel, a trip or a journey. One part of English comprehension is learning how to understand jokes.
You gain both listening and speaking skills
Another useful program is how to order food in English. For instance, many people like to eat pizza, so it is good to know how to order different varieties. Conversely, you may like to have a night out with a friend in which you may like to experience the table dining experience, where there is a host to sit you at a table and order your meal. All these things are now available on a TV series and will help you learn English quicker and faster.
