Mobile technology, video games, and television shows have had a significant impact on today’s youth. Additionally, watching web-series with English subtitles make the content easier for the audience to understand. It impacts the learner’s vocabulary and its sub-skills of pronunciation, intonation, and fluency, as well as their desire to watch more information. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to determine all the factors that web series information executes to influence vocabulary growth.
