The educational videos provided cognitive load, student engagement and active learning. Meanwhile, the quality of the vocabulary teaching contents taught was nearly comprehensive, including teaching vocabulary of frequency, range, availability and expediency, learnability, and cultural factors. However, for the use of guiding questions, making videos as homework, and specific needs or interests of learners were not available.
