TEXT 1:

Learning from Television

Traditionally, educators have perceived television as not particularly beneficial to literacy

development. Concerns were fueled by findings suggesting that with the introduction of
television people spend less time reading books and reading scores decline. As our society is
striving to make adjustments to the decline in literacy skills, new ways of learning and teaching
are being explored, educators are becoming interested in exploring the educational potential of
television. Therefore, the interest in television as an educational medium has increased for
several reasons.

First, existing educational television programs that were developed to enhance the literacy
development of both children and adults have been quite successful in achieving their intended
outcomes. This has been reported in several researches dealing with such things such as
television supported distance learning programs from the Open University in Great Britain.

Second, because television is a very accessible medium, it has the potential to reach learners that
have not been able to participate in traditional adult literacy programs. Television is accessible
both in terms of its technology and in terms of its content. By 1985, 99% of all US households had
a least one television set. Moreover, viewers are intimately familiar with the content of television
and tend to associate it with pleasurable experience because of its power to entertain.
Finally, the development of new visual technologies makes it possible to provide users with more control and
interactivity and thus to adapt televised instruction to the needs of a variety of learners and learning styles.

To conclude, many teachers in UK are recently becoming aware to benefit the potential of television programs
to support the teaching processes.
