In a study of the impact of same-language subtitles in television and video, 46 elementary students in India viewed subtitled music videos, 46 viewed videos without subtitles, and 46 saw no videos. Pre-posttest data showed some reading improvement with untitled videos but the best and most sustained improvement was with the use of subtitles. (SK)
