The present paper focuses on the role of audio/visual mass media news in language learning. In this regard, the two important issues regarding the selection and preparation of TV news for language learning are the content of the news and the linguistic difficulty.

As for the linguistic difficulty, it consists of acoustic, lexical/syntactic and text-type difficulties.
