The current study attempts to capture the possible effects of subtitling on English receptive skills. This study was conducted during the fall EFL course in 2019. 108 EFL university students in Korea participated in the study. In order to compare the effects of different kinds of subtitling, the participants were divided into three groups: a standard subtitling group, a bimodal subtitling group, and a reversed subtitling group. During the course, each group engaged in 10 movie-watching sessions in different subtitling conditions. To confirm the effects of subtitling, pre- and post-tests were conducted. An anxiety survey was also performed at the end of the course. The results of the paired t-tests revealed that standard subtitling can improve EFL reading skills while reversed subtitling can increase both EFL listening and reading skills. The findings of the group comparison demonstrated that the kind of subtitling does not affect EFL receptive skills. The anxiety survey results showed that standard subtitling lowered EFL listening anxiety the most whilst bimodal subtitling was the most effective in lowering EFL reading anxiety. Based on the results, some pedagogical implications are made.
Abstract
The current study attempts to capture the possible effects of subtitling on English receptive skills. This study was conducted during the fall EFL course in 2019. 108 EFL university students in Korea participated in the study. In order to compare the effects of different kinds of subtitling, the participants were divided into three groups: a standard subtitling group, a bimodal subtitling group, and a reversed subtitling group. During the course, each group engaged in 10 movie-watching sessions in different subtitling conditions. To confirm the effects of subtitling, pre- and post-tests were conducted. An anxiety survey was also performed at the end of the course. The results of the paired t-tests revealed that standard subtitling can improve EFL reading skills while reversed subtitling can increase both EFL listening and reading skills. The findings of the group comparison demonstrated that the kind of subtitling does not affect EFL receptive skills. The anxiety survey results showed that standard subtitling lowered EFL listening anxiety the most whilst bimodal subtitling was the most effective in lowering EFL reading anxiety. Based on the results, some pedagogical implications are made.
