ABSTRACT
The application of live broadcasting has caught attention in a wide variety of learning contexts in recent years. In higher education, university plays a very important role in teaching enhancement. Live broadcast media provide a platform for the library to establish an English self-learning social community and to encourage communication among the group members. Through the live video and instant messages delivered by the network, the library can adapt various strategies for presenting the content in different forms (live videos, graphics, texts, video, and links). In this study, the integration of live broadcasting in English as a second language (ESL) learning is implemented in a library. Together with the implementation, reactions from the librarian, the teacher, the students, and library support staff were gathered. From their reactions, the participants were positive about the broadcast approach to learning ESL. However, challenges exist for keeping all students committed to attending the class. More interesting topics and the use of interactive activities in the class are suggested in future implementations.
