“DEVELOPING VOCABULARY-BUILDING SKILLS IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (ENGLISH) AND APPLYING MODERN APPROACHES IN THIS PROCESS (BASED ON FILMS AND TV SERIES).”
This article presents a concise scientific overview of the linguistic, psycholinguistic, and didactic principles of integrating films
and TV series into English language teaching. It argues that audiovisual materials provide a natural speech environment,
strengthen listening, pronunciation, and lexical-grammatical skills, and significantly support communicative competence. The
study highlights how pragmatic features, speech situations, and cultural elements acquired through audiovisual input deepen
learners’ linguistic proficiency. It also outlines the motivational, multimodal, and creative benefits of such resources, as well as
key criteria for film selection and methodological application. Findings confirm that films and TV series are an effective
pedagogical tool that enhances the quality of foreign-language intractions.
