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.

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.
