説明

This paper recommends using films or TV dramas on subtitled DVDs as learning materials and electronic flashcard software as an individual study tool in order for advanced language learners to be more independent. In a largely monolingual country like Japan, people are not usually exposed to foreign languages if they do not consciously seek exposure to them. Nevertheless, they are required to spend enormous amount of time to effectively learn a foreign or second language. Therefore, in educational settings, students must be taught how to be involved in a target language on their own and become independent learners. In order to achieve this goal, the use of electronic flashcard software DVDs and films, or TV dramas can be effective educational tools. The combination of discourse analysis of such authentic materials can help learners understand the target language at the discourse and grammatical levels and become ready to use the words and expressions they have consciously learned. Since learners mostly know how to make extensive use of these formats, they will likely be able to study autonomously outside the classroom.
