Abstract

Abstract 
This  research  investigates  the  role  of  movies  and  TV  series  in  enhancing 
vocabulary acquisition and listening skills through the lens of cognitive load theory. 
The  paper  analyzes  the  efficacy  of  subtitle  usage  in  the  retention  of  idiomatic 
expressions. Findings emphasize that audio-visual integration significantly improves 
long-term  memory  recall  and  phonological  loop  development  in  foreign  language 
acquisition. By examining the intersection of entertainment and education, this study 
highlights how cinematography serves as a "multi-modal" bridge for L2 learners.
