MEDIA CONTENT IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Abstract

This paper investigates the pedagogical significance of media content in teaching foreign languages, focusing on how audiovisual, digital, and interactive resources contribute to language acquisition and intercultural communication. It examines the integration of film, television, radio, podcasts, and social media into modern foreign language pedagogy. Using qualitative analysis of classroom implementations and teacher observations, the research identifies the benefits and challenges of applying media-based learning. The findings indicate that media content enhances learners’ motivation, authentic communication, and cultural awareness while requiring proper methodological support and digital literacy.
