THE IMPACT OF ENGLISH-LANGUAGUE TV SERIES ON DEVELOPING LANGUAGUE COMPETENCE

Abstracts: In an increasingly globalised world, proficiency in English has become a fundamental competence necessary for both personal development and professional realisation. Traditional language acquisition methods-such as instructor-led teaching and textbook-based study-are progressively being augmented by alternative approaches, particularly those incorporating elements of non-formal education. Among these, the use of English-language television series has emerged as a popular and potentially effective medium for enhancing language skills. The pedagogical implications and efficacy of this approach have garnered growing interest from researchers, educators, and learners alike. Keywords: Language competence, English-language television series, non- formal learning, auditory skills, socio-cultural adaptation.
