Journal Review: Subtitles in the Second Language Classroom (Theory)




Welcome in my blog. I  would like to review a journal. The title is Subtitles in the Second Language Classroom. Now in this post i want to continue my review about the Theory of the Journal.

 Journal Description
Title : Subtitle in the Second Language Classroom
Writer : Ingrid Elisabeth Nufsfjord Kvitnes
Year of Publication : 2013
Country : Norwegia
Language : English

Abstract
This study has explored the use of subtitles in second language acquisition for Norwegian
learners of English. We used participants from the VG1 level in upper secondary school; the
experiment had two experimental groups and a control group who watched the same video
clip with or without subtitles. We found that subtitles aided comprehension of plot in the
initial round of testing in addition to the participants’ vocabulary size, and this was
established through the use of a simple comprehension questionnaire. We also tested for long
term effects of learning by using a word definition task and a lexical decision task and found
that the subtitles were not predictors of performance. The participants’ proficiency level was
more important as a predictor, through vocabulary size and input interaction. An experiment
with back translation for the Norwegian subtitles showed no signs of priming.

Journal Review : Theory

Theory of the journal devided into four parts.

1. Second Language Acquisition

First language or we usually called "Mother Tongue" and it is basically the first language which leart after we had acquired the first language.

2. The Role of Input in SLA

The important point of language learning or second language learning is language input (Listening and Reading). We can know the information through reading and listening. Those are the part of comunication.

3. Subtitling of Audio Visual Material and SLA

Subtitle is known as the way people translating the oral dialogue from video (audio visual) into text. There are a lot of study that provide subtitle as the best way to teach english. Subtitle can improve both reading and listening skill. Also, the listeners of the subtitled videi can learn about various types of accents in english.

4. Visual Material: Cartoon/Animation

Cartoon/animation can be used as media in subtitle teaching method. It can make student interest in learing process by watching Cartoon/Animation video.

Naming Traditions

Hello guys, this is my second post and i want to talk about Naming Tradition. As the tittle said, naming tradition, do you know there is a lot of ways to give name for baby in this world? Each country has their own tradition for naming their children. Usually, children get their last name or surname from his father and the women who married change their surname to her husband surname. It happened to American and Japanese. But Korean is different, a couple who already married don't share the same surname. Why? Because, Korean give the family name to their children before the given name. For example, the husband name is Kim Young Jae, and the wife name is Lee Ha Na. Eventhough they are married, Ha Na's surname still Lee and don't change into Kim. But their children surname is Kim, from the husband surname. That's the Korean naming tradition. Beside Koreans, other Asians that have the same naming tradition as Korean is Chinese, Chambodians, Hmong, and Vietnamese. ...
