The Role of Bimodal Subtitled English Videos in Enhancing EFL Learners’ Productive Skills.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the role of bimodal subtitled English videos in enhancing EFL learners’ productive skills. The research postulated one main hypothesis, which is that watching English bimodal subtitled videos improves EFL learners’ productive skills. In order to test the validity of this assumption, two methods of collecting data have been used. First, a questionnaire was submitted to 216 EFL learners at the English language department of Mila University. Second, an interview was handed to two students who are fans of the American series "Friends" at the same university. The major research findings reveal that bimodal subtitled English videos motivate and help EFL learners improve their productive skills.
