Five of the class A students were selected to participate in the study. This study used a pre-experimental design for its investigation. Participants in the study were instructed to watch four Sherlock movie from the third season and then write a synopsis of each episode. Further, the synopsis data would be evaluated by software called P LEX to determine the extent to which the movie improves the listener's vocabulary.
