Opis

Have you thought about the benefit of watching television?? How about learning a foreign language by watching Hollywood blockbuster or the hit television drama and comedy? The author examined Taiwanese willingness to communicate in English by watching American entertaining programs. English is a mandatory school subject in Taiwan, however, Taiwanese are unwilling to speak up when there is a chance talking in English even though they get straight A in English. Will it help them to break the ice engaging in English conversation when they watch how people talk in American television programs?
