The objectives of this research were: 1) to promote the use of integrated instructional media using movies and movie subtitles to help improve English vocabulary comprehension, and 2) to investigate students’ opinions about IMS. The participants were forty-two upper secondary level students. The instruments used were: 1) integration of instructional media of movies and movie subtitles following the ADDIE model for the instructional design steps, 2) a pre-test (by viewing movie videos without subtitles) and post-test (by viewing movie videos with subtitles) used to examine whether subtitles improved vocabulary comprehension in learners; and 3) interview questionnaires, used to interview students who participated and also teachers who assisted in observing the lesson. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and percentages.
The results revealed that after participants were exposed to movie videos with subtitles through the developed instructional media, their vocabulary comprehension had significantly improved, and in accordance with the interview with both learners and teachers suggested that the integration of instructional media using movies and movie subtitles (IMS) can help improve English vocabulary comprehension in teaching and learning English language.
