FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ENGLISH TEACHERS AND CULTURE EXPLORERS: AN INSIGHT INTO THE BENEFITS OF WATCHING ENGLISH MOVIES WITH SUBTITLES FOR UNIVERSITY FRESHMEN

Abstract

For English learners, learning about the cultures of other English-speaking nations is incredibly helpful. They benefit from having the chance to comprehend the cultures associated with the language they adore in addition to improving their English study skills. One step in this process of culture research is watching English-language movies, which is made much simpler by the use of subtitles. Through the investigation of first-year students' attitudes and opinions, this research aims at exploring and reflecting on the function of English movies with subtitles in teaching and studying English at the university level and pointing out the difference between two types of subtitles, in terms of how they can facilitate English teaching and studying. To conduct this research, the quantitative method was used, with the help of a survey questionnaire.
