Abstract
The aim of this paper is to describe the development and evaluation of the video-based language database called VisuaLexs and examines its potential benefits for students to learn a foreign language in hybrid learning environments. The paper firstly explains the importance of providing students with video-based activities in the language classroom. The paper then outlines the research background of electronic language database and text retrieval systems, followed by details of VisuaLexs and its educational benefits and limitations with regards to hybrid language learning. Although the biggest challenge that students face using dictionaries is the fact that not enough highly specific examples and meaningful contexts are provided, VisuaLexs is effective in discovering various linguistic features and language expressions which are associated with their context information.
