Abstract

This paper presents a study that employed video song clips as an instructional tool for imparting English vocabulary to Taiwanese EFL university freshmen. The research incorporated three well-known songs performed by renowned artists, which were readily available on YouTube. A pretest-posttest control-group design was employed, wherein the treatment group (consisting of 28 participants) received English conversation lessons accompanied, in part, by English songs, while the control group (comprising 25 individuals) underwent conventional teaching methods devoid of video clips. The study spanned three consecutive regular sessions, with approximately the final 25 minutes of each session dedicated to this experimental approach. Both groups were subjected to a 30-item English vocabulary assessment created by the researcher, encompassing words drawn from the song lyrics, both before and after the instructional intervention. A statistical independent samples T-test was employed to analyze the data, revealing a significant increase in scores for the treatment group. This paper suggests a three-step methodology for utilizing video song clips, which can be conveniently implemented to assist EFL students in enhancing their repertoire of English vocabulary.

运用三步法结合视频歌曲片段进行英语词汇教学

摘要本研究以影像歌曲片段为教学工具，对台湾大学英语新生进行英语词汇教学。这项研究纳入了三首著名艺术家演唱的著名歌曲，这些歌曲在YouTube上很容易找到。采用测试前-测试后对照组设计，其中治疗组(由28名参与者组成)接受英语会话课程，部分伴有英语歌曲，而对照组(由25人组成)接受没有视频剪辑的传统教学方法。该研究分为三个连续的常规阶段，每个阶段的最后25分钟用于实验方法。在教学干预前后，两组人都接受了由研究人员设计的30项英语词汇评估，包括从歌词中提取的单词。采用统计独立样本t检验对数据进行分析，结果显示治疗组得分显著提高。本文提出了一种利用视频歌曲片段的三步法，可以方便地帮助英语学生提高英语词汇储备。
