- Title
'I used to read one page in two minutes and now I am reading ten': Using popular film subtitles to enhance literacy outcomes.

- Abstract
Not only is electronic media now totally integrated into the heart of students' lives, it is increasingly being viewed as a possible stimulus for learning in schools. A series of New Zealand studies and one in Australia indicate that, by using subtitles of popular movies and associated literacy activities, both reading achievement and engagement are enhanced, particularly for diverse and low achieving students. Same language subtitling (SLS) appears to evoke unavoidable reading mileage where reading skills are practised subconsciously (Banks, 2012).
