Paying attention to the words: Practical and theoretical problems in watching television programmes with uni-lingual (CEEFAX) sub-titles

The Use of Keyword Video Captioning on Vocabulary Learning Through Mobile-Assisted Language Learning

“…The results indicated that learners exposed to captioned videos outperformed non-captioned video students. Captioned videos foster vocabulary learning because it may contribute to a conscious focusing on the form and it encourages attention which is an essential for language learning (Vanderplank, 1990). Video captioning is also effective in word recognition and recall (Perez, Noortgate, & Desmet, 2013).…”

Investigating an innovative computer application to improve L2 word recognition from speech

“…This suggests that systematic use of input in both aural and written modalities (bimodal input) may improve learners' perceptual sensitivity to the composite words of target language speech. Although studies addressing the benefits of bimodal input have largely done so through investigation of the improved comprehension brought about by synchronous presentation of aural and written modalities (Vanderplank, 1988(Vanderplank, , 1990, other researchers have suggested the pedagogical value of asynchronous presentation of aural and written modalities as a means by which to specifically develop L2 word recognition from speech (Field, 2003(Field, , 2008a(Field, , 2008bHulstijn, 2003;Wilson, 2003). Central to their recommendations is the temporal separation of aural and written input.…”

Closed captioned television: a perceived means to self-help in second language learning

“…Those programs that were never watched (and therefore not marked in either the TV -only mode, as specified in Question 9, or the CCTV mode in Question 10) would give indication that something about them did not peak the interest of international students. In this respect, it is of interest that documentaries (which were preferred by Markham, 1989;Parks, 1986Parks, , 1994Vanderplank, 1990;Weasenforth, 1994) Another example regarding student genre preference which runs counter to classroom research reports is the news. As previously mentioned in the literature review, the news is sometimes difficult to follow for several reasons: I) because it is heavy subject matter, 2) because the words are often delayed since it is captioned live, and 3) because the visual speed of the captions is increased as a result of the increased oral speed.…”

“…Thereafter, pointed questions were asked to detennine if they made use of specific social or cognitive strategies that had been suggested in previously reported research.

“…Through these three questions, it was hoped to discover just how many of our students on average are using closed captioning as a self-help commercials (Parks, 1986;Smith, 1990;Laviosa, 1991;Rubin & Thompson, 1992); weather reports (Smith, 1990); news (Laviosa, 1991;Rubin & Thompson, 1992); documentaries (Markham, 1989;Parks, 1986Parks, , 1994Vanderplank, 1990;Weasenforth, 1994); sitcoms (Smith, 1990;Hebert, 1991;Parks, 1986); drama (Smith, 1990;Rubin & Thompson, 1992); movies (Taylor, 1981;James, 1984;Rubin & Thompson, 1992); soap operas (Huffman, 1986); interviews (Rubin & Thompson, 1992). Having given consideration to the programs previous researchers had used, it was necessary to look at the preliminary survey given to our ISU students.…”
