<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The role of subtitles: ** <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Video is capable of facilitating attention, which is the gatekeeper to learning. Transfer between foreign and mother-tongue words strengthens vocabulary retention. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Subtitled authentic video encourages learners to use authentic video material more often by providing __instantenious feedback__ and by generating __confidence__ in learners. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Subtitles enhance vocabulary acquisition, retention and retrieval with the combination of picture, audio and text (cognitive overload). When text is in the mother tongue (standard subtitles), the associations in memory become even stronger and also the beginner learners are able to comprehend more, and advanced learners may discover new vocabulary that would remain unnoticed without the support of subtitles.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Types of subtitles: ** <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">**Learning goals:** support to find new words, improve comprehension and spelling, etc.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">standard or interlingual - foreign language audio with mother tongue captions
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">bimodal or intralingual - foreign language audio with foreign language subtitles
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">reversed subtitles - mother tongue audio with foreign captions

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> **Benefits:** learners become aware of that it is not necessary to have subtitles to understand the video and that it is possible to listen and read at the same time. They also learn how to pay attention to both channels (aural and textual) at the same time and use text as support.

=<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Example activity 1: ** = <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Step 1. Watch the video with and without subtitles while parts of audio omitted from the text (fill in the gaps). You can do it in various ways:

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 2. Learners take a note of words, sentences that were excluded from the subtitles, then they discuss it in groups <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Step 3. Conclude the activity with an oral discussion of learner's self assessment and experience when they watched the video with and without subtitles
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">with-without-with
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">without-with-without
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">with-without
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">without-with

=<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">**Example activity 2** Learning Vocabulary of Housing: = <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Step 1. Discuss a housing related topic in pairs or groups to refresh related vocabulary, e.g.: design a housing ad for a newspaper <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Step 2. Watch video clip with/without subtitles, standard or bimodal. Then discuss the content and list housing related words they heard. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Step 3. Watch the video again and complete the list of words. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Step 4. Role play the video story, or write an essay, etc.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> //What Makes Finnish Kids So Smart?// <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Out of 57 countries tested, Finnish teenagers scored the highest. They rarely get half an hour homework, they start school at the age 7 and they watch foreign films with Finnish subtitles. There is no Internet filter at school and no gifted programs. Reading is encouraged at early age with subtitled cartoons.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> //Watch and learn// <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Reading literacy goes up in India with subtitled music videos. Newspaper reading increased, school dropouts decreased. Watching subtitled programming 8 hours in six months improved reading more than traditional teaching. South Africa, Pakistan, Afganistan are considering implementing SLS (same language subtitle) in the TV programming. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
