Learning English through movies is one of the most interesting and effective learning methods. However, many people are still very confused about turning on or off subtitles when watching movies. Let's answer in the following article of Eclass - english center in HCM.

Should subtitles be turned off or on when learning English through movies?

It can be said that, depending on the audience and the level of the learner, you can choose to turn on or off the subtitles. For starters, turning on the subtitles will help you track better and stick to the movie circuit. However, if you already have the basics, you shouldn't use subtitles when watching movies with students. Instead, introduce them to new vocabulary they will encounter in the movie, discuss the plot before watching, and so on.

Another way to help lower-level students is to let them preview the movie at home a few times with the advice: only turn on subtitles when absolutely necessary. After a period of maintaining the habit of studying through movies, learners will notice their clear progress in learning English. In addition, you can also apply this learning method to other foreign languages!

What kind of movies should be used in learning English?

There are many genres of movies, however, there are some movies that are very suitable for daily English learning that you should try. Watch short series (series) - they are simply shorter than other types of movies, have fewer characters and we can predict the course of the movie. This type of film often reflects real life, makes sense, and the people in it use language and grammar that are close to everyday life.

Movies and series are great sources for learning grammar. It is very effective to quote a short clip (up to about 2 minutes) in the movie when the characters use the structure or a grammar point that you are learning.
