  • Five Possible Advantages of Watching TV Series Over Movies For
    Five Possible Advantages of Watching TV Series over Movies 1 for Autonomous Learners of English KOBAYASHI Toshihiko (Otaru University of Commerce) Abstract This research paper is intended to demonstrate the possible superiority of watching TV series over movies for autonomous EFL learners for an extended period of time by identifying and discussing the following five potential advantages: 1) Learners save time and expend less energy; 2) Development of a wider repertoire of learners’ vocabulary; 3) A further deepening or supplementing of learners’ subject matter knowledge; 4) A greater improvement in learners’ listening comprehension; and 5) Motivating learners for a longer period of time. To maximize these advantages, an autonomous learning model through TV series is proposed with the following five steps: 1. Viewing & Note-Taking (Listening); 2. Discussion (Speaking); 3. Script-Reading & Vocabulary Check (Reading); 4. Writing Comments (Writing); and 5. Making Vocabulary Lists (Recording). Finally, some limits on the practice of this learning model and what is expected from EFL teachers to promote learner autonomy will be discussed. Key words: TV series / movies / advantages / autonomous / learning 1. Introduction One possible way to guarantee voluntary exposure to the target language outside the classroom for adult EFL learners is to relate English learning to their curiosity and major field of studies and/or professional needs by providing them with academic and professional benefits as well as linguistic ones. Movies and TV series can serve as some of the most powerful and sustainable materials to offer EFL learners authentic English input for an extended period of time. They are especially suitable for motivating learners in autonomous settings once they are set free from a strict pedagogical framework or school requirements (Kobayashi, 2011; Tanaka, 2013).
