Use Closed-Captioning (or Subtitles)
To enhance listening skills use closed-captions (or subtitles) in the language in which you are learning.
Closed-Captioning
Closed captions were created for the deaf community or hard of hearing
individuals to assist in comprehension. They can also be used as a tool
by those learning to read, learning to speak a non-native language, or
in an environment where the audio is difficult to hear or is
intentionally muted. Captions can also be used by viewers who simply
wish to read a transcript along with the program audio.
Closed captioning is a term
describing the process of displaying text on a television, video screen
or other visual display to provide additional or …
Subtitle (captioning)
Subtitles are textual versions of the
dialog in films and television programs, usually displayed at the bottom
of the screen. They can either be a form of written translation
of a dialog in a foreign language, or a written rendering of the dialog
in the same language, with or without added information to help viewers
who are deaf and hard-of-hearing to follow the dialog, or people who cannot understand the spoken dialogue or who have accent recognition problems …
Most of the world does not distinguish captions from subtitles. In the United States and Canada,
these terms do have different meanings, however: “subtitles” assume the
viewer can hear but cannot understand the language or accent, or the
speech is not entirely clear, so they only transcribe dialogue and some
on-screen text.
“Captions” aim to describe to the deaf
and hard of hearing all significant audio content—spoken dialogue and
non-speech information such as the identity of speakers and,
occasionally, their manner of speaking—along with music or sound effects using words or symbols.
The United Kingdom, Ireland,
and most other countries do not distinguish between subtitles and
closed captions, and use “subtitles” as the general term—the equivalent
of “captioning” is usually referred to as “Subtitles for the hard of
hearing”. Their presence is referenced on screen by notation which says
“Subtitles”, or previously “Subtitles 888″ or just “888″ (the latter two
are in reference to the conventional teletext channel for captions).
