Mohammad Zohrabi (2015) showed a video with subtitle to control group. Results from the questionnaire suggest that learners paid most attention to captions, followed by video and audio, and acquired most words by associating them with visual images. Pedagogical implications of this study are that captioned video tends to aid recognition of written word forms and the learning of word meaning, while non-captioned video tends to improve listening comprehension as it facilitates recognition of aural word forms. Finally they concluded that the use of movies with subtitles can improve students’ engagement in learning and retrieval of new lexical
