L’usage des medias dans l’apprentissage des langues étrangères : étude des cas
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In the last few years, thanks to the Internet, access to foreign language media has become more and more easy, which is why the number of foreign language media users has increased. This research focuses on exploring the use of German speaking media by Romanian students from the German speaking departments of the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca. The theoretical background of the study is the Uses and Gratifications theory. The research methods applied were the focus group, followed by a survey applied to a representative number of students. Our research highlighted the fact that the students from German language programs often used German television and German websites. In regard to the German media in general, most respondents stated that they satisfy, in a very large amount, the needs described by the Uses and Gratifications model.
