USING VIDEO MATERIALS FOR DEVELOPING GRAMMAR SKILL

Abstract

currently, many English learners are taught grammar out of context. One solution to this problem is video. Much literature supports video integration in the second language classroom. However, little is known about its effectiveness for enhancing grammar instruction. An integrative literature review was conducted with studies from both English and foreign language learning contexts to examine the following three questions: 1) How does video support grammar acquisition? 2) What are students’ and teachers’ perceptions of using video in the language classroom? 3) How can video be integrated into the language classroom? The analyses of 31 empirical studies published between 2006 and 2018 revealed that video facilitates grammar acquisition by providing contextual, paralinguistic, and authentic input to improve student motivation and lower affective filters.
