    • Abstract:
      This study explores the effects of extensive exposure to L2 TV series, describing perceptions of learning from this type of input. A total of 136 university learners of English participated in a pre-/post-test design study which included extensive watching of ten full-length episodes of an English TV series. There were three groups: captions, textually enhanced captions, and no captions. Learners' viewing mode preference and feeling of learning from L2 media were explored through questionnaires on out-of-class exposure to English media distributed at the beginning and end of the classroom intervention. The study results suggest a shift in the preferred mode of exposure to L2 media after the intervention and provide insights on the students' impressions of and reactions to language learning from L2 TV series.
