I believe the media is powerful it is the wave of the future we cannot ignore media it is going to be with us for a long time. There is bad media and there is good media. The good media is the educational media and other media is not that suitable for young children who are surfing in the internet. Today’s generation are all famliar to modern media. I have five children three of them know how to work with computers better than me. And my eight year old son is starting to play with computers and he knows my password to go in surfing the websites where he know the websites for games. I know he is learning the alphabets when he types each letter. He is also improving his English words through the media literacy.
Homer simpson is popular in my home my teeenage sons watch the show every evening I know that when they watch the simpsons they are laughing and that is how I know that they are learning the second language even if they are just watching tv they are still learning the second language. Media helps us to learn the English language through t.v. and through internet. One of my sons has difficult in writing but he is improving every year because he is always chatting with his friend on his messenger. I also learned from television when i was in school by watching my favorite shows after school and even today I still learn the second language when watch television.
This is why I believe that the media is a powerful tool to use when learning a second language through internet and television.
