Abstract
This study aims to explore the Korean public’s perceptions of British TV dramas and their self-motivated English learning patterns using social big data analysis. For this purpose, texts containing the phrase ‘British TV drama’ from Twitter and YouTube were extracted and analyzed employing network, frequency, and semantic analyses. The results showed that (1) whereas the public shared information about British TV dramas on Twitter, their opinions and ideas about learning English using British TV dramas were primarily discussed on YouTube; (2) the public seemed to be most interested in improving their British English pronunciation when studying English with British TV dramas; and (3) the public seemed to utilize YouTube as a tool for self-motivated English learning as well as a place for sharing fandom culture. Pedagogical implications are provided.
