When I was doing undergraduate Engineering in India, There were several students who didn't have English as their main language in school and so struggled a bit with the course text as it was not only in English but mostly by Western authors. English movies were one of the main source for improving the language skills for them, I remember one playing Harry Potter movies on loop every single day in the dorm room. Almost all of them are having a great career in a Western country now.
Many like them and parent use entertainment media to improve their vocabulary and other language skills, There have been couple of need-gaps[1][2] on this posted on problem validation platform with several solutions like Youglish.
