Abstract

The increasing accessibility of English-language films and TV series worldwide has transformed language learning methodologies. This paper explores the effectiveness of using films and serials as tools for acquiring English proficiency. It examines the cognitive, cultural, and linguistic benefits of audiovisual media in language learning, focusing on listening skills, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, and cultural awareness. The study employs a mixed-method approach, including surveys of learners and analysis of language learning outcomes. Results suggest that films and serials significantly enhance motivation, contextual understanding, and communicative competence. This article also addresses pedagogical implications and offers practical recommendations for integrating audiovisual resources into English language curricula.
