From Dave Bailey
Cambridge
It has been suggested that subtitled films are responsible for Swedes’
proficiency in English
(Letters, 2 August, p 49). How about exploiting this
phenomenon to improve literacy within the English-speaking
world—especially in Britain.
Legislation to add English subtitles to all films, including those already in
English, and to ban all dubbing, could be a cheap way of improving British
people’s command of languages, including their own.
