• W897661793 abstract "ABSTRACTThis paper is an attempt to find out whether subtitles have any positive effect on listening comprehension of Iranian EFL learners, and if yes, which of the two English and Persian subtitles have more significant effect on learners. The participants were 90 intermediate students who were selected from 135 freshman English translation students of Tonekabon Islamic Azad University via applying an oxford placement test (opt) and then randomly divided into three groups, two experimental, one control. The data from the English and Persian subtitled documentaries were measured by paired sample t-test to prove which group outperforms better than the other; in addition, data gathered from post listening test among three groups were calculated by one-way ANOVAs to demonstrate whether subtitled documentaries have any effect on listening comprehension of students or not. The overall results showed that while neither of the two English and Persian subtitle groups had significant difference with the each other considering the effect of subtitles, both of them showed significantly higher scores in their listening post-test, when compared to the control group after treatment.KEY WORDS: documentaries, English subtitles, Persian subtitles, EFL learners, listening comprehension1. IntroductionAmong the four major areas of communication skills and language development namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing the most basic one is listening (Arosenius, 2011). Moreover, listening ability plays a significant role in the development of other language skills, i.e. comprehension is currently considered the most prominent aspect of language, as it is believed to facilitate he other language skill; reading, writing and speaking (Vandergift, 2011, p.455). According to Ha watt and Dakin (1974), listening is the ability to identify and understand what others are saying. This ability involves the knowledge of pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and grasping meaning. This would be research intends to deal with the effect of movie subtitles on listening comprehension ability of Iranian EFL Learners. To be exact, this study is going to find out whether subtitles have any significant effect on enhancing listening skill ability. It will further compare the Persian and English subtitle to see if there is any difference between their effects on students' listening comprehension ability.The main issue represented in this study is the effects of documentary's subtitled movie on learners' listening comprehension. It should be noted that multimedia devices are the most modern strategies of teaching listening skill. Listening is one of the most important skills which engages teaching of grammatical points, correct structures, and also correct pronunciation to the EFL learners.According to Richards and Gordon (2004, p. 2) videos, as medium, enable learners to use visual information to enhance their comprehension (cited in Hayati & Mohmedi, 2011). In another study, Haghverdi and Vaezi (2012) claimed that Movies with subtitles are one of the effective tools in English language teaching and learning. Al-seghager (2001) reported that written text in multimedia class including video and subtitle more develop learners' vocabulary knowledge bound than teaching by pictures and passage. This idea intends to shed light on the effectiveness of multimedia subtitles on listening comprehension ability.Markham (1999) referred to the effects of subtitles on listening comprehension ability. He considered both positive and negative aspects of subtitles. Its positive side was similar to the above mentioned studies in which experimental group outperformed the control group in recognizing more words, understanding better the meaning of dialogues. The negative point of subtitled movie in his study was the performance of the captioned group which was more due to the memorization rather than listening comprehension (cited in Latifi, Mobalegh & Mohammadi, 2011). …" @default.
