Re: captioned TV
See my two articles, "Reading with Closed-Captioned TV" in Journal of Reading,
vol 31, #5, Feb., 1988 and "If You Can Read This, Thank TV" in TESOL Journal,
Vol. 6, #2, Winter, 1996.
Captioned TV should be one of the most widespread family
methods of enhancing vocabulary development and reading comprehension in the
US. It's easy to access (one push on the remote),
it's entertaining and informative, and best of all, it's free.
Watch the program at home; prepare preview vocabulary, compose
comprehension questions and show the program with the sound on for very low
readers, or off with more advanced ones. Students can't take their eyes off
the captions and when they laugh, you'll know they're comprehending. You may
use almost any program for 45 days before you must erase it, but many Cable in
the Classroom programs are copyright free.
How the FCC overlooked this wonderful technology when it required broadcasters
to provide 3 hours a week of "educational programming," I'll never know.
If you want a full description of the technique with lesson plans and
rationale, you can read Phi Delta Kappa's Fastback #359, "Using
Captioned TV for Teaching Reading." Though it's out of print, I'll mail you a
free copy.
