Video-Based Learning in Language Education: Student Experiences and Teacher Perspectives

Abstract

This study probed into the impact of Video-Based Learning (VBL) on students' language learning experiences, uncovering five main themes: Positive Influence of VBL, Utility, Timeliness and Relevance, Clarity and Ease of Understanding, and Drawbacks of VBL. The research highlighted the positive outcomes of incorporating videos, aligning with previous studies that emphasized the enriching effects of visual content. Students' feedback emphasized the favorable influence of VBL on language acquisition, citing increased engagement, exposure to diverse cultures, and adaptable learning. Conversely, challenges included technical issues and potential misinterpretations due to contextual disparities. Teachers recognized VBL as a tool that enhanced engagement, fostered technological literacy, and accommodated various learning styles. Despite its advantages, challenges such as dependence on electricity were acknowledged, prompting exploration of alternative solutions for continuous integration into language education.
