| Summary: | This research was carried out with some fourth-semester students from a foreign languages program of a Colombian university. The purpose of this research was to implement TV series to promote critical thinking, which would be based on the contrast of cultural aspects between the Colombian and Anglophone culture. An action research approach was used to encourage a preservice teacher implement excerpts from Tv series and subsequently lead debates around the topics covered in the series. By using TV series, the students increased not only their cultural appreciation, but also their listening skills and their ability to express their opinions in English. These findings might be valuable for teachers who intend to apply TV series in the foreign language classroom.
