MODERN LANGUAGES in PRACTICE
The Modern Languages in Practice Series provides publications on the theory and practice of modern foreign language teaching. The theoretical and practical discussions in the publications arise from, and are related to, research into the subject. Practical is defined as having pedagogic value. Theoretical is defined as illuminating and/or generating issues pertinent to the practical. Theory and practice are, however, understood as a continuum. The series includes books at three distinct points along this continuum: (1) Limited discussions of language learning issues. These publications provide an outlet for coverage of actual classroom activities and exercises. (2) Aspects of both theory and practice combined in broadly equal amounts. This is the core of the series, and books may appear in the form of collections bringing together writers from different fields. (3) More theoretical books examining key research ideas directly relevant to the teaching of modern languages.

Background and Rationale
Television and video are a part of everyday life. Programmes are a source of information and of entertainment, and they form a significant part of present day culture, both in the way that they reflect, discuss and illustrate modern life, and in the way that their own content and style shapes what people talk about or the way they behave. Young people in particular look to television and areas of the Press to provide many of the cultural references they need and to keep themselves up to date.
The expansion of access to televisual resources by terrestrial, satellite and cable systems provides a plethora of programming both at home and increasingly in places of learning. For language teachers the improved access to authentic resources from target language speaking countries would seem at first sight to be a life-enhancing development, providing learners with extensive and motivating listening practice in the comfort of their own homes! However, the number of (particularly younger) language learners who will dedicate their own time, of their own free will, to watching television in another language for the good of their souls is not enormous, and the virtue of indiscriminate viewing of programmes has also to be questioned. Our own life experience tells us that a lot of what is broadcast on television is not especially interesting to us personally and does not command the attention of all of our faculties; if we add to this lack of inherent interest the barrier of a different language, then the positive impact of viewing an authentic programme is clearly not guaranteed. Viewers in all sorts of circumstance, then, need to learn, or be taught, to be selective and purposeful about what they watch.
