I agree up to a point, sometimes I get myself fed up of English, so I end up just reading the subtitles. But your student have to keep in mind that she needs to focus on listening, it's not supposed to be a reading exercise, is it? I think the success of this exercise depends on the willingness of the student. All in all chances are that your student will be more exposed to English with no subtitles at all (or usually subt in our language that can be ignored) and then that is the opportunity for her to notice whether she's improving.
Kill two birds? It's a good way to improve vocabulary, however I try not to worry
much about new words when I'm watching TV.
Well, that's my sad story.
