| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation explores the role of English subtitled movies in incidental vocabulary acquisition among third-year students of the English department at the University of Mouloud Mammeri in Tizi-Ouzou (MMUTO). Specifically, it investigates the importance of English subtitles in developing incidental vocabulary and the extent to which they facilitate language learning across different levels. To guide our study, we draw on Richard E. Mayer's book Multimedia Learning (April 9, 2001) and its key principles.We employ a mixed-methods research design that combines quantitative and qualitative criteria to gain a comprehensive understanding of the research question. Seventy third-year students complete a questionnaire, while eight students participate in a structured interview. To analyze the data, we use the rule of three for statistical analysis and Qualitative Content Analysis for the interpretation of open-ended questions and interview responses.The results suggest that English subtitles have a positive impact on incidental vocabulary acquisition and language learning. The students reported that subtitles helped them better understand the context and nuances of the language, and enhanced their ability to acquire vocabulary and language features incidentally. The findings also highlight the importance of incorporating multimedia elements into language learning practices, and support the use of English subtitled movies as a valuable resource in language education.Overall, this study contributes to the growing body of research on the effectiveness of multimedia learning and provides insights into the use of subtitles in language education. | en |
