dc.description.abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of DVDs in enhancing student
vocabulary development in second-language contexts. To this end the study sought students’
perceptions of DVD subtitles and their level of vocabulary knowledge. It also examined the
extent to which watching a DVD with or without intralingual subtitles can improve students’
vocabulary recognition and recall. The literature review included a discussion on the variables
operant in second-language acquisition; the use of visual media on vocabulary learning; and
the effects of subtitling practices as a didactic tool for vocabulary recall and recognition. The
study adopted a mixed-method approach and data were collected through a survey and openended
questionnaire; a Vocabulary Levels Test; a Vocabulary Knowledge Scale Test; and
vocabulary intervention activities. The findings indicate that DVDs can enhance students’
vocabulary in second-language teaching and learning contexts. More importantly the study
confirms audio-visual images create greater sensory input that is, “words associated with actual
objects or imagery techniques, are learned more easily than those without” (Chun and Plass,
1996:183). |
