Whether to choose subtitles when playing English movie clips, or which subtitles to choose (Chinese subtitles, English subtitles or Chinese and English subtitles) is a difficult problem for teachers. Opinions on this issue vary widely. Teachers' attitudes basically come from their own foreign language learning experience or some so-called common sense, and lack empirical support. Because of this, it is necessary to analyze and observe the impact of film and television subtitle selection on learners' second language acquisition through empirical evidence and second language acquisition theory.
