And with help of this research we can explore the importance of the real language of the media in learning and teaching languages, at the same time, improves the understanding of the ideological structure of teachers and students.

It is recommended that teachers provide an analytical framework to help students reflect on their language experience and practice. Teachers can use movies, TV shows, popular music, 341 Acumen:InternationalJournalofMultidisciplinaryResearch Acumen: InternationalJournalofMultidisciplinaryResearch Volume1,Issue4 news, literature, documentaries, and videos from sources such as YouTube to attract students and produce deeper and more meaningful learning experiences. The use of the media can engage students, help students retain knowledge, stimulate interest in topics, and illustrate the relevance of many concepts. Media can be used in almost any subject to improve the learning effect of classroom learning and homework.
