  • Exploring Informal and Colloquial Language Through Netflix's Derry Girls
    Exploring informal and colloquial language through Netflix’s Derry Girls. Bàrbara Pilar Serra Ballester Master’s Thesis Master’s Degree in Teacher Training (With a speciality in English and German) at the UNIVERSITAT DE LES ILLES BALEARS Academic year 2018-2019 Date: June 2019 UIB Master’s Thesis Supervisor: Dra. Yolanda Joy Calvo Benzies Abstract The presence of colloquial and informal language is rather neglected in today’s EFL classrooms. The following study aims to demonstrate that this vocabulary, part of a genuine, real-world English, can be incorporated into the lesson in a unique way; by using authentic audio-visual materials like television sitcoms. For this dissertation, several fields have been explored in depth, such as the value of those genuine products as a teaching tool, that goes hand in hand with students’ motivation, the relevance of the cultural competence and further aspects like the purpose of working with informal and colloquial word-forms, the irrefutable role of captions and an analysis of the incidental vocabulary acquisition phenomenon in the language learning experience. Moreover, this MA dissertation includes an empirical study conducted with 4th of ESO students which aimed at analysing whether using the Northern Irish TV show Derry Girls is a beneficial tool to gain new vocabulary like idioms and phrasal verbs. The results obtained indicate that students were more motivated when learning English this way; moreover, it in fact helped most of them learn new vocabulary. Keywords: informal language, colloquial language, EFL, TV sitcom, Derry Girls. 2 Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................. 2 1.

  • Trivago and Derry Girls
    BLOG Trivago and Derry Girls EDINBURGH PARTNERSHIP TELEVISION NICOLA CLARK - MARKETING COORDINATOR 12 MAR 2019 Trivago, the hotel search comparison specialist, is currently sponsoring Channel 4’s hit coming-of-age comedy, Derry Girls, for its second series. Created and written by Lisa McGee, Derry Girls candidly follows the lives of five teenagers as they navigate life in Derry during The Troubles. Series one of Derry Girls was the most watched series in Northern Ireland since modern records began in 2002 and won both Best Comedy and Best Writer at the 2018 IFTA Gala Television Awards as well as the 2018 Radio Times Comedy Champion award. Across the UK, consolidated viewing figures revealed that the first series was watched by an average on 2.5 million viewers making it Channel 4’s biggest comedy launch since 2004. Negotiated by MediaCom Edinburgh, Trivago features sponsorship bumpers throughout the show. They also feature on all the on-air promos as well as on All4. New creative has been developed for the partnership which features a Northern Irish voiceover to link it to the programme. Maud Cant, Head of AV at MediaCom Edinburgh, said “Derry Girls has been one of the best performing programmes against 16-34adults on its first series last year, so it was a great opportunity for us to help Trivago reach the younger end of their target audience. After a lot of back and forth we managed to get a deal agreed and we are delighted that Trivago made sure they are maximising the partnership with the creation of new bumpers”.
