The Effect Of Using The Video-Based Teaching On Developing EFL Listening Comprehension Skills Among Preparatory Stage Pupils

Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of using the video-based teaching on developing EFL listening comprehension skills among preparatory stage pupils. The instruments of the research included: a pre-post EFL listening comprehension skills test based on a list of listening comprehension skills. The participants of the study included (60) pupils chosen from Abu Elgohour Preparatory School, El Santa Directorate, Gharbiya Governorate, Egypt. They were divided into two groups: The experimental group and the control group. The experimental group received instruction using video-based teaching for developing their listening comprehension skills whereas the control group pupils were exposed to traditional instruction. The data was statistically analyzed using t-test and the effect size was calculated. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and control group in the post measurement in favor of the experimental group students in the overall listening comprehension skills, The research results revealed that the experimental group students' listening comprehension had improved due to the effect of video-based teaching treatment. The results showed a large effect size of total score (0.92 ) on developing  2^nd year preparatory school students' listening comprehension. So, video-based teaching was recommended to be used in teaching EFL listening at this level and other recommendations and suggestions for further research were also included.
