Abstract

Foreign languages learning
Educational videos are among the most influential and authentic tools in foreign language education (Choi & Johnson, 2007; Erbaggio, Gopalakrishnan, Hobbs, & Liu, 2012; Hafner, 2014; Mackey & Ho, 2008; Mirvan, 2013; Shih, 2010; Wang, 2014). The reason that videos are particularly popular in foreign language education is that they are multimodal, that is, even in their basic form, they provide students with auditory, visual, contextual, verbal, and non-verbal sources of input, which can enhance comprehension (Gernsbacher, 2015; Hoven, 1999; Seo, 2002) by providing comprehensible input (Krashen, 1981, 1985). Moreover, some researchers (e.g. Borrás & Lafayette, 1994; Danan, 2004; Davey & Parkhill, 2012; Hsu, 1994; Hsu, Hwang, Chang, & Chang, 2013; Markham & Peter, 2003; Montero Perez, Peters, Clarebout, & Desmet, 2014; Plass, Chun, Mayer, & Leutner, 1998; Vanderplank, 2016) have attempted to make videos more educationally purposeful through captions (texts in the original language) and/or subtitles (texts in the target language), supporting listening comprehension and vocabulary development.
