“This book addresses a much debated topic in the research on foreign language teaching and learning: the role of captioned audiovisuals for educational purposes. … The book can also offer valuable insights to independent learners who wish to study or practice foreign languages by means of captioned multimedia tools.” (Annamaria Caimi, TESOL Quarterly, Vol. 51(4), December, 2017)“I found the book very informative, well organised, and easy to read. Vanderplank's work remains fresh and relevant, and the volume will be of great interest to students and researchers interested in L2 learning, as well as practicing language teachers and teacher trainees.” (Danijela Trenkic, System, Vol. 65, April, 2017)
