This chapter reflects on a Korean ESL college class transformation into a transmedia learning environment. Lee and Seo illustrates the importance of pop culture knowledge in language learning along with constructing a positive rapport between the instructor and the students. The movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was used as the text of the class through interactions with students. They began to build the transmedia story about the movie. Students researched through multiple platforms to construct the movie through their major knowledge, personal experience, and findings on the internet. Furthermore, students developed their language skills to apply English to the movie related content. This chapter will illustrate how the students engaged in such activity and what became the transmedia project.
