Special Issue: Video and language learning

Guest editors: Maribel Montero Perez (Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven,

It is well established that input plays a major role in the second language
(L2) acquisition process. During the last three decades, we have seen
extensive research on the value of reading and how exposure to written input
may benefit L2 (e.g., vocabulary) development. More recently, there has been
an increasing number of studies on the role of video or audio-visual input for
second language learning. Video has been identified as a rich source of L2
input because it not only exposes learners to everyday language use, the
combination of imagery and audio may also stimulate various aspects of second
language learning. In addition, because of its overall availability in our
daily lives (YouTube, DVD, TV, MOOCs, etc.), video offers interesting
opportunities to provide exposure to L2 input and language learning outside
the formal classroom context. 

The effect of viewing videos on second language learning has been studied from
different angles. Researchers have, for instance, examined the effect of video
on comprehension, listening proficiency, and vocabulary learning as well as
how these aspect of learning can be boosted by adding support such as
captioning (i.e., subtitling in the target language). 

This special issue aims to provide a comprehensive collection of papers
(approximately 6000 words each) in any of the following areas: 
- L2 learning through viewing video, including aspects of language proficiency
such as listening comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, etc. 
- The use and effectiveness of techniques to enhance learning from video, such
as types of on-screen text (native language subtitling, captioning, etc.) 
- Empirical research on video for out-of-class learning or as part of, for
instance, extensive viewing programs
- The potential of MOOCs and flipped classroom contexts for L2 learning 
- The role of learner variables such as age, context, and proficiency level 
- The role of video characteristics such as lexical coverage and imageability 
- Methodological aspects related to measuring L2 learning from video 
- Theoretical considerations on video for L2 learning 
Methodologically, we especially welcome studies that are longitudinal and/or
involve mixed-method data collection approaches (e.g., a combination of
eye-tracking data and paper/pencil tests). For methodological or theoretical
contributions, we highlight the importance of a rigourous and systematic
review of the literature.
