This study investigated the effects of English captions, Turkish captions, or no captions on the listening comprehension of intermediate and low-intermediate level EFL learners. A total of 30 Grade-8 primary school students participated as intact groups in the study. The participants viewed the first 19-min segment of the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in only one of the three passage conditions: English captions, Turkish captions, or no captions and completed a 20-item multiple-choice listening comprehension test. The results of ANOVA procedures demonstrated that the students in all three conditions performed similarly on the listening comprehension test.
