Paper Abstract:	With the recent emergence of the interactive TV, the iTV starts to gain ground as a learning social media forgotten in the last decades due to previously existing applications (smart phones, tablets, laptops) that surpassed it. The TV has always been used as a means of transmission and family conciliatory, but, at the same time, the necessary feedback, as well as its adaptation to the users’ preferences, language level, and age have always been lacking in every learning process that smart televisions can currently provide. In this sense, it seems necessary, on the one hand, to investigate the different characteristics and capabilities of smart televisions and, on the other, to design educational learning pills for English language learning through adaptive smart TVs. To achieve the aforementioned objectives an interactive methodology based on family/ peer gaming will be presented as a way to awake collective and social learning. The expected results will be an application developed with Hybrid Broadcast Broadband technology including a content recommendation system designed considering the user’s preferences and a set of educational pills created by a team of linguists and experts in language and methodology. To conclude, this project seeks to promote language learning acquisition in a fun and entertaining way and enhance the experience with their television which has been a traditional model representing bond and time to gather around family and friends.
