Participants watched 11 episodes of a children’s television series. They were divided into two groups: one watched the videos with regular captions, and one with enhanced captions, where target words were bolded and highlighted in yellow. Vocabulary gains were assessed through pre- and post-tests that tapped into form recall and form recognition. Results showed higher learning in the enhanced captions group, particularly in terms of form recognition. Additionally, an eye-tracking analysis showed that the enhanced-captions group had longer fixation durations initially, but the difference disappeared by the end of the intervention.38 p.application/pdfeng(c) John Benjamins, 2024VocabulariEnsenyament de llengüesSeguiment de la miradaEducació primàriaVocabularyLanguage teachingEye trackingPrimary educationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
