Abstract:

This book is designed to provide insight into the roles of English in and

transnational media offerings, and facilitates a better understanding of
the influence of media in foreign language acquisition.

Relevant to how schools react to and take advantage of media influences on
English acquisition

Contributes to discussions of the possibilities of transnational media
offerings

Facilitates a better understanding of the influence of media in foreign
language acquisition and of its role in promoting cross cultural
understanding across European cultures
