GENERAL ANALYSIS OF THE SURVEY RESULTS MADE TO
STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
Learning.-it is the Process, of change of attitude or of sense as a

result of a confrontation of the human beings in their

environment behavior.

CLOSED CAPTION STRATEGY FOR LEARNING

Conclusions
For students who are learning English, captioned media can

help improve vocabulary acquisition, listening

comprehension, and word recognition and decoding skills.
Using captioned videos can help ensure that these students
access important material.
For students who are struggling readers, seeing and

hearing unfamiliar words can help improve their

understanding of the material and important vocabulary
words.

CLOSED CAPTION STRATEGY FOR LEARNING

Conclusions
If your students are very low-level readers,
consider using videos aimed at a younger audience
or those that relate to their areas of interestfor
example, an animated action series or film or pop
culture content, such as interviews with musicians
and actors. Entertaining, brief videos tend to have

less challenging vocabulary and your students will

still receive the literacy benefits of reading while
listening.

CLOSED CAPTION STRATEGY FOR LEARNING

HYPOTHESIS WAS PROVED
In general our our hypothesis that said The Use of Closed

Caption improves the listening comprehension skills of

English language students in the fifth year students of
English major was proved with the support of the data
obtained in the surveys with students and teachers,
objectively and we concluded after all the research and
compiled information in the different the surveys of
students in the fifth year of the career of English language
of UFG, the Use of Closed Caption improves the listening
comprehension skills of English language students in the
fifth year students of English major

CLOSED CAPTION STRATEGY FOR LEARNING

RECOMENDATIONS
We recommends students of the Career English language

to implement permanently activities of "listening"

according to their levels, it can happen that sometimes
students do not understand what they are listening
because it's just not the right level for them.
Help students to dentify key words: words that help the
reference to the text in general
To make Logical deductions: according to the context
because deductions should be made to find the consistency
of what students listen .Listening activities should be with
students regarding their level and the context.

CLOSED CAPTION STRATEGY FOR LEARNING

RECOMENDATIONS
We recommend Intonation exercises in context becasue

students should hear how people make intonations. Maybe

this can show surprise, disgust or any other emotion in
students. Listen the accentuate of words (Word stress) that
will give them clues to deduce the meaning of words.
As future teachers if we pay attention to the context in any
listening activity we would assure that the feedback we are
going to get will be objective., because Knowing if the
conversation is done in any store, any restaurant, or at
home will help students to deduce or recognize phrases.
