Beyond the textbook: A year-long exploration of VODcasts in EFL education

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The study aimed to assess the impact of video-based training on students' linguistic development using VODcasts. It used an experimental approach with a pretest, posttest, and control group design. The experimental group received instruction through a remedial program incorporating authentic video material and dramatised literary works, while the control group received audio materials. The experimental group showed significant improvements in all language skills, while the control group did not. The results suggest that using real videos to teach language is a successful method, leading to proficient listening, reading comprehension, speaking, and writing skills in the experimental group.
