ENHANCING STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY SKILLS THROUGH NETFLIX SERIES IN THE TEACHING/LEARNING OF FRENCH

Abstract

In our rapidly evolving technological landscape, the existence of digital platforms has become an undeniable reality, spanning diverse domains. The educational sector has embraced platforms such as Udemy, Coursera, Duolingo, Tandem, Kahoot, Voki, LearningApps and Padlet. Authentic materials, including articles, videos, and audio recordings, facilitate an interactive learning environment, while also supporting equal emphasis on the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Interactive, task-based activities cultivate effective communication and application of language skills. Among digital platforms, Netflix has gained popularity, particularly among youth, offering an abundance of updated series and movies to enhance foreign language skills, vocabulary, and cultural knowledge. This study employs qualitative research, specifically document analysis, to explore the role and impact of the French Netflix series in teaching/learning French as a foreign language. It seeks to highlight the significance of vocabulary instruction and demonstrate how Netflix series can be used as a tool in foreign language education to teach various topics. In accordance with Creswell's perspective on qualitative research, the study places data collected through document analysis as essential tools. As a result, it is demonstrated that the content available on the Netflix platform can be effectively integrated into classrooms where French is taught as a foreign language, aligning with the action-oriented goals specified in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe, 2001), which emphasizes practical daily language use and effective communication.
