learners have already stated that they use film and television shows as study
on English. The fast dialogue and use of slang may seem daunting but it will
help to get used to the natural flow and sounds of the language. It is also useful
to see facial expressions and hand gestures, as these will give you more
understanding of the conversation. And also, Subtitles are a great idea as you
can check on the meaning of a word or you can pause the movie and repeat a
sentence you would like to learn. In some countries, such as the Netherlands,

In line with that Champoux and Robert (2007) stated that some students
might resist viewing English film with English subtitle since it takes more time
and effort to follow because they should read the subtitles and watch the scenes
focusing on the main instructional goal. Every student has their own favorite
actors and actress. When they watch a movie that was starred by their favorite
actors, they will focus on the actors, not on the main instructional goal. Students
will forget what the teacher asked before they watched the movie.

the Null hypothesis is rejected. And as shown in Table 10 for all the items the
total value is less than the P value and this means that the Null hypothesis (H₀ )
is accepted.
