In the first two chapters of this study, the author provides an overview of the role of television in education, and reviews some of the research carried out in the field. Following chapters deal with foreign language teaching, the teaching of English as a second language, teacher training, the teaching of English in Israel, a contrastive analysis of the use of the indefinite determiner in English and modern Hebrew, a lesson plan utilizing ETV, and a projected view of the field.
