listening comprehension of language learners after being exposed to the captioned/subtitled movies. For example, Markham (1989) investigated the effects of subtitled TV programs on the listening comprehension of beginner, intermediate and advanced learners of English. He used two subtitled videos on topics not known to the learners. Each group viewed both movies with and without subtitle. Measuring the participants’ comprehension by some multiple‐choice questions, he found that all three groups using the subtitles performed significantly better. In another study, Garza (1991) compared learners’ comprehension of video segments with second language captions with that of video segments without captions. By means of a 10‐item comprehension test, he measured students’ comprehension of the video segments. The results of data analysis revealed that students who viewed the video segments with captions gained the highest scores.
