Abstract:
Authentic travel documentaries provide language learners with a deep insight into the target language
and culture. A travel documentary not only takes people to travel but also serves as a miniature
encyclopedia encompassing such aspects of the target country as history, politics, culture, geology,
music, military, society, economy, etc. which is a rich resource for language learners to probe into. The
combination of travel documentaries and iBooks offers an immersion-like learning experience where
people feel like they are personally on the scene. It is hoped that this can offer a unique and innovative
perspective for language teaching and learning.
