Abstract

“Using Popular Television as a Teaching Tool for the Linguistically Diverse,” illustrates how media communication techniques can be adapted for curriculum development. A close look at this medium indicates that its power can be bridled for effective use within the learning environment. Theoretical and practical information is combined because strategies, based on research findings, use popular television series suggested by the students to provide recommendations for lessons to develop pronunciation, oral communication, plot analysis and writing composition as well as analysis of cultural factors concerning ethnic diversity. Guidelines are also included for developing television discrimination.
