Importance of Television Talk-Shows in Classroom Lectures (An analysis using ‘Ek Mulakat’ as Reference)

Abstract

Teachers in classrooms constantly face a variety of challenges. Poor communication skills, lack of vocabulary, poor grammar, and lack of motivation among students can hamper the teaching and learning process. To deal with these issues, teachers use a variety of methods and teaching materials. This study was conducted to evaluate how teachers can use TV talk shows in their classes to inspire the students. This research study was carried out to understand if talk shows are an effective tool which could be used in classroom lectures. The findings show that using TV talk shows can often excite classes into enthusiastic collaboration in real. Exposing students to visual images of TV talk-shows are more effective than readings alone. They cannot act as substitutes for instructors but can complement readings and lectures. If properly introduced and discussed, TV talk-shows can stimulate inquisitiveness, willingness to learn more and provide frameworks for analysis. However, the focus is on how teachers can make their sessions more interesting and productive by integrating this teaching tool.
