dc.description.abstract	This study aims to investigate the effect of subtitled TED Talks on intermediate level of EFL learners’ listening comprehension. A total of nineteen EFL learners in two groups took part in this study. During six weeks of the experiment both groups watched TED talks with and without subtitles. After each viewing, six sets of multiple-choice tests were administered to compare the progress of learners’ listening comprehension. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between the participants who watched the TED talks with subtitles and the ones who watched them with no subtitles.	en_US
