“…By and by, the channels do not necessarily back and complete one another in the most ideal way to advance language learning, as the principal reason for making a television program is diversion, giving data, or imaginative worth. (Suárez et al, 2021) In movies, actors deliver dialogue within a storyline that unfolds from introductions, through conflicts, to resolutions. Students can acquire new vocabulary through listening to dialogue.…”

This article explores effective strategies for enhancing English vocabulary, crucial for academic success and communication proficiency. Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, the study investigates the impact of exposure to television series on the vocabulary acquisition of eleventh-grade students at MAS AS’AD Jambi during the 2023/2024 academic year. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to a sample consisting of one class of 33 students from the tenth-grade cohorts in Science (IPA), Social Studies (IPS), and Islamic Education (PAI). The findings suggest that extensive exposure to television series significantly enhances students' vocabulary in terms of both meaning and structure. Furthermore, the results indicate that students who received vocabulary pre-teaching generally outperformed their peers, regardless of the language of the on-screen texts. The study concludes that television shows can substantially boost students' vocabulary skills, offering valuable insights for educational strategies in language acquisition.

This article presents two classroom-based studies lasting one academic year: Study 1 with beginner learners of English as a foreign language and Study 2 with intermediate learners. In each study, learners in the comparison and experimental groups were introduced to new vocabulary through regular explicit instruction in class, but only those in the experimental group additionally watched subtitled (Study 1) or captioned (Study 2) television series where the new vocabulary appeared. Lexical gains, computed for each academic term, showed an overall positive effect of television viewing, although more differences between groups were found towards the end of the intervention, and more significant results were obtained in Study 2. These longitudinal data provide relevant information on the role of extensive viewing for language learning in instructional settings, which is often missed in one-off studies outside and inside the classroom.
