Captions and Subtitles in EFL Learning: an investigative study in a comprehensive computer environment

Abstract

This study is a broad-range investigation into short-and long-term effects of captioning and subtitling in beginner, intermediate, and advanced Italian adult learners of English.Several issues are taken into consideration including content comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, language-in-use, and semantic match between audio and video inputs.All the variables involved were controlled in a single computerised setting.The current experiment partially supports the findings described in the relevant literature.A few discrepancies emerged with some previous studies, but they are probably explained by the different type of material and testing procedure adopted.
