This book brings together current thinking on informal language
learning and the findings of over 30 years of research on captions
(same language subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) to
present a new model of language learning from captioned viewing and
a future roadmap for research and practice in this field. Language
learners may have normal hearing but they are 'hard-of-listening'
and find it difficult to follow the rapid or unclear speech in many
films and TV programmes. Vanderplank considers whether watching
with captions not only enables learners to understand and enjoy
foreign language television and films but also helps them to
improve their foreign language skills. Captioned Media in Foreign
Language Learning and Teaching will be of interest to students and
researchers involved in second language acquisition teaching and
research, as well as practising language teachers and teacher
trainers.
