This open access book aimes to close a critical research gap in understanding how frequently
German-speaking adolescents come into contact with the English language through various media
channels  such as television  books  or the internet  and how this contact influences learners'
English competences. In addition  this research project explores the effect of family
background and gender on this contact. The analysis shows frequent contact with
English-language media content by young learners in Germany and Switzerland. More frequent
contact was associated with higher language competences. Differences could be found in the
preferences of media content and type of media channels due to socio-economic family background
and gender.
