Exploring the Aftereffects of Watching English Movies without Subtitles: Perspective of Students
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
This qualitative-phenomenological study aimed to know and understand the after effects experienced by students in watching English movies without subtitles. This study was gleaned through the three theories by Marshall that explain how learning may occur via well-selected video based on the ability of the entertaining media to engage the learner, activate emotional states, initiate interest in a topic, and allow for absorption and processing of information. There were 14 Grade 10 participants in this study who were divided into two groups for in-depth interview and focus group discussion. Participants' experiences revealed five themes: difficulty in understanding; learning something new; enhance listening and communication skills; challenging; and misinterpretation. From their coping strategies, seven themes emerged: watching the movie repetitively; focusing and concentrating to the movie; being resourceful; listening carefully; unlocking difficult words; asking assistance from peers; and understanding through actions. Lastly, there were six themes revealed on the perspectives of students in watching English movies without subtitles which include: stimulates one's imagination; develops communication skills; enriches vocabulary; learns to love English movies; challenges the students; and develops comprehension. Results suggested that English movies without subtitle can be used in the classroom instruction to develop the macro skills of the students and learn English language effectively.
