Abstract

Incidental professional vocabulary scquisition of EFL business learners: Effect of captioned video with glosses as a multimedia annotation

Highlights

  • Increasing emphasis has been placed on the effectiveness of multimedia in language teaching and learning. Harji, Woods, and Alavi (2010) stated that multimedia technology such as tv, computers, networks, email, videos, compact disc read-only memories, and interactive multimedia may be adopted to integrate authentic target language materials into a language classroom environment

  • The present study investigated whether learners could incidentally acquire professional English words when they watched a captioned video with the words glossed according to the described model

  • The participants scored highest for the target words displayed in the caption-gloss mode in both the Chinese to English (CtoE) production test (M = 1.55, sd = 1.33) and English to Chinese (EtoC) production test (M = 3.49, sd = 2.04)

Summary

Introduction

Increasing emphasis has been placed on the effectiveness of multimedia in language teaching and learning. Harji, Woods, and Alavi (2010) stated that multimedia technology such as tv, computers, networks, email, videos, compact disc read-only memories, and interactive multimedia may be adopted to integrate authentic target language materials into a language classroom environment. Increasing emphasis has been placed on the effectiveness of multimedia in language teaching and learning. According to Burston (2015), multimedia messaging services, including those involving text, pictures, sound, and video, can be applied in alternative methods for vocabulary learning. Multimedia annotations have received attention in research on vocabulary learning, and textual definitions with pictures have outperformed other tested combinations (Chun & Pass, 1996; Plass, Chun, Mayer, & Leutner, 1998; Shahrokni, 2009; Yoshii, 2006). Multimedia annotations that combine video and text have been reported as more effective for vocabulary learning than annotations comprising pictures and text (Al-Seghayer, 2001)
