Abstract	Recent technological, pedagogical, and regulatory developments have heightened awareness and appreciation of the utility of closed captioned television (CCTV) for adult English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) and literacy instruction. A federal mandate that most televisions provide a closed caption decoder, increased captioning of all program types, and additional research on the benefits of CCTV for ESL learning support the use of the medium. Several technological advances make classroom use of CCTV materials less time-consuming for teachers and a rich experience for students. Captions can now be captured for simultaneous printing or computer use and exercises can be developed for using this material. Sample exercises include punctuation analysis of the large-type captions, lessons on grammar and vocabulary, study of cultural patterns and social behavior, analysis of intonation and stress, study of the techniques used by captioners to make captions brief and succinct, and construction of adult activities using the slower-paced children's programs. Training in the use of CCTV and sharing of teaching experiences will allow educators to exploit the power and effectiveness of television as a language and literacy learning tool.
