Research instrument
The research instrument in this study was the integrated instructional media using movie
and movie subtitles, “Stardust", which purposely aimed to examine the improvement of
vocabulary comprehension in learners after viewing movie videos with L2 subtitles. The movie
was carefully selected and pre-viewed by teachers in order to ensure that movie scenes,
content of language use and new vocabularies were appropriate for learners’ English
proficiency. Vocabulary comprehension measurement test formats were based on Vocabulary
Knowledge Scale (VKS) and consisted of a Forward Translation Recognition Matrix (FTRM) and a
Sentence Completion Recognition Matrix (SCRM).
