Vocabulary learning from watching Youtube videos and reading blog posts
- Abstract:
- The present study compared L2 vocabulary acquisition from engagement with two different online media: written blog posts and video blogs. It also explored whether there are differences regarding which aspects of vocabulary knowledge–orthography, semantics, and grammatical function¬–are best learned from these media. The results showed that incidental vocabulary learning occurred, in approximately equal amounts, through reading blog posts and watching video blogs. There were some indications that different types of vocabulary knowledge were gained from the two type of media. The written blog entries promoted greater gains in orthographic knowledge than the videos. There was also some tentative evidence that the videos may have promoted greater recall of the target words’ grammatical functions, and greater recognition and recall of their meanings.
