Alleviating Comprehension Problems in Movies
Donna Tatsuki
Kobe University of Commerce, Japan
A number of factors contribute to comprehension problems when learners
watch video movies. The factors examined in this presentation are based
upon student logbooks collected over a period of three years. Many of the
comprehension "hot spots" (where learners reported comprehension breakdown)
are similar to the sources of "slip of the ear" phenomena. Examples of
student cited comprehension "hot spots" in actual movie scenes and video
taped student-teacher interaction to resolve comprehension breakdown are
the main features of this workshop. Because many of these problematic spots
can be predicted, it should be possible to prepare more effective study
guides and supplementary materials. At the end of the workshop, the participants
will formulate principles for predicting, identifying and dealing with
potential comprehension "hot spots."
