Mastering Vocabulary and Pronunciation Through Viewing English Subtitled Videos

Abstract

In order to enhance students' vocabulary and pronunciation skills, teachers should consider implementing various techniques to help students better absorb and articulate vocabulary. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using English subtitled videos to improve vocabulary and pronunciation skills, as well as identify any obstacles students may face when utilizing this method in the classroom. The study was conducted at a Senior high school with a sample of 10 second-grade students from the 2016 batch. This pre-experimental study utilized pre-test and post-test assessments, and data analysis was done using statistical formulas. The results showed a significant improvement in students' vocabulary and pronunciation skills, as evidenced by higher post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. Additionally, most students reported no difficulties in using English subtitled videos in the classroom.
