“…To some degree, this scaled down the theoretical value of our initial theory and confirmed studies that showed that the perception (interpretation) of movies has a strong subjective nature and is just an illusion of self-evident reality [46]. Differing interpretations of the film's fragment also validated theories that culture, acquired life experience, and individual characteristics influence various 'cognitive styles' in understanding [47][48][49].…”

This article presents the results of a case study that puts the classical and new educational models and methods to the test through practical implementation by a French foreign language assistant in Russia. On that basis, the authors revise the modern theories of language and intercultural communication. The research emphasises that for the efficient acquisition of foreign language and the development of cultural competences it is necessary to design a "learning microculture" and unique "ecology" of the classroom.

“…The positive effects of the use of videos in the target language have been discussed and proven in many ways by numerous studies so far. The related literature shows that watching videos, such as films, TV series and shows in English develops reading comprehension (Saricoban & Yuruk, 2016); contributes learning vocabulary and use of language (Ariogul & Uzun, 2008); improves communicative competence (Yang & Fleming, 2013); listening skills (Tekin & Parmaksiz, 2016) and speaking skills (Leopold, 2016). Acknowledging these positive effects, the present study approaches the subject from a different perspective.…”

The purpose of the present study is to find out the extent to which the real spoken language is reflected in TV series in terms of vocabulary. In accordance with this purpose, a corpus, named as the British TV Series Corpus (BTSC) was compiled for the present study using two British TV series, Sherlock and Doctor Who, and this corpus was compared to the spoken part of the British National Corpus (BNC), more than 40% of which was compiled from naturally occurring speech in order to find out whether there is a relationship between two corpora. The results showed that the TV series corpus covered the 98.54% of the most frequent lemmas in the spoken part of the British National Corpus, so the language used in TV series reflects the language spoken in the real life in terms of the vocabulary items and their frequency. Accordingly, it can be claimed that TV series can be used as effective in-class and extra-curricular materials for teaching vocabulary and speaking and listening skills.

“…Therefore, from the pedagogical viewpoint, studies are also beginning to address the use of TV shows and sitcoms in relation to cultural learning. Yang and Fleming (2013) affirm that an interculturally competent speaker "is also competent at interpreting foreign cultural products (e.g., films and TV series), taking into account their cultural context" (297). Sitcoms "can be an effective platform for the language learners to be immersed in the culture or way of life of the target community" (Chang, 2015, 26).…”
