Nadžida Mesic-Nuhanović (2019) A linguistic analysis of picture books and children's television series A thesis submitted to the University of Salzburg in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education About chapter 3: Previous research Research indicates that television uses certain features that affect children's language development The influence on vocabulary as the most prominent while the effect on the acquisition of grammar has yet to be established Educational television programs today play an important role in children's lives In Western countries, children are watching many media programs, so it becomes an important part of their lives Children's language abilities are not affected by our parents' words anymore, and in today's changing environment, children receive different types of linguistic input It is important to understand the impact of media on children's language As we are so faced with today's electronic media, it can have both favorable and unfavorable effects on the development of our language Because the educational value of children's program communication still needs to be considered, it is important to tailor program media to the development of children's language from the outset It is important to test any program that provides a set of vocabulary and structure definitions that can facilitate further work _ Second, Michael Patrick Hindley Rodgers (2013) English language learning through viewing television: An investigation of comprehension, incidental vocabulary acquisition, lexical coverage, attitudes, and captions A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington From chapter to chapter This thesis is organized around individual studies Each study is presented with separate literature review, research questions, methodology, results, discussion, and limitations sections In general terms, each of the studies in this thesis is concerned with English language learning through viewing 10 episodes of an American television program Study (Chapter 2) investigates language learners‟ comprehension of the episodes of television The relationship between vocabulary knowledge and comprehension is also addressed Study (Chapter 3) examines incidental vocabulary acquisition through viewing episodes of television The effects of frequency and range of occurrence on vocabulary acquisition are also examined Study (Chapter 4) investigates the effects of lexical coverage on comprehension of television and on vocabulary acquisition through viewing television The language learners‟ attitudes towards learning English through viewing episodes of television are examined in Study (Chapter 5) Study (Chapter 6) seeks to determine how the presence of captions affects the aspects of language learning that were investigated in Studies through The final chapter (Chapter 7) of this thesis provides a discussion of the major findings from these five studies, as well as the pedagogical implications of these findings and a consideration of potential limitations of the overall research _ Third, Preschool children’s visual attention to attributes of television Human Communication Research Fall 1980.Vol 7.No 1.52-67 The study states that the factors that are positively related to children's attention to a TV show are auditory, distinctive voice, motion, clipping, sound effects, laughter and applause Attributes that were negatively associated with attention were distinctive voices, panning and panning footage, eye contact, and stills Other attributes have both positive and negative effects on attention depending on whether the child is looking at the TV at the time the attribute appears Attributes are thought to be positive or negative to the extent that they signal the content can understand the information The nature of these attributes is based on the relationship in the production of the program This view suggests that the relationship between an attribute and visual attention is to a large extent learned as a result of many hours of television exposure during the early years of a child's life Research suggests that this motivation for learning is provided by young children's desire to watch parts of TV programs that they can understand from their point of view We believe that content, even humorous and suspenseful, must be at least understandable in order to be entertaining For young children, much television content may not even be minimally understandable 2.2 Theoretical basis _ Improve quality Improve means "Increased than before" (According to the press dictionary) It can be said that “Improve” is increasing the efficiency of a job, a field in the time and scope possible Depending on the specific characteristics and characteristics of each object, there is a basis to find factors to increase efficiency and create values suitable for the function of the object you need to improve The role of improvement in order to promote the effectiveness of an object or event in the impact of the general physical environment is a very necessary requirement to ensure the existence of things, the that work Thus, the 10 improvement is to increase the effectiveness of the impact of one thing and phenomenon on another [Tran Thi Kim Dung (2015) Improve the quality of the program according to the current news of the VOV1 system, the Voice of Vietnam Master's thesis in journalism] First, “quality" is understood as what creates the dignity and value of a person, thing, or thing Second, "quality" is understood as the concept of "quality" Quality is also the necessity, the constitutive element of things Quality is also understood as the general totality of the basic properties and attributes of things, which make one thing distinguishable from another, and distinguish it from quantity" “Quality” is also understood in two senses First: "quality" is what makes up the quality and value of people and things For example, the quality of goods, improving the quality of learning Second, "quality" is what creates the essence of things, making this thing different from another; distinguished from quantity: to what extent quantity growth changes quality Third, product quality is the totality of product characteristics in order to satisfy certain requirements corresponding to its use.” Thus, the quality of an English television program is the sum total of the characteristics that make up the core value of the program in order to satisfy the needs of the public at primary school and fulfill the mission of propaganda deliver Improving the quality of an English-language television program is to increase the effectiveness of informational expression in content and form in order to promote the value of
