    The objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the use of subtitles in films as a tool for improving listening comprehension of the English language. The population in which the study was carried out was a group of 24 students of the second year of Baccalaureate of the Sagrada Familia Educational Unit located in AmbatoEcuador. The methodology used for this research was quantitative and preexperimental. A pre- and post-test of the listening section of the British Council's APTIS exam were the instruments that were applied for the assessment before and after the interventions, which were applied in three parts. The research was carried out in the subject of English in the span of eight interventions. For the analysis of the data obtained, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program was used, with which it could be represented by means of tables. Consequently, the students showed a slight but evident improvement in listening comprehension and the use of grammar since based on the results of the pre-test they showed an average of 5.0 and in the posttest an average of 5.9 out of 10, with a difference of 0.8 that represents the grammar part of the tests. In conclusion, the use of subtitles in films as a pedagogical tool has a positive influence on the improvement of the listening comprehension of the population and consequently on the use of grammar, since several activities focused on it.
