Students’ Attitudes Towards Lessons With Video Materials

Abstract

In Japanese, hardware training is defined as “... demonstration and listening training ...” which refers to a course that uses film or programming. Researchers and many real-life examples show that the use of images and sounds for the human senses of sight and hearing enhances learning outcomes. This training plays a particularly significant role, especially in understanding a difficult content expressed in a foreign language. In recent years, content such as Japanese movies, plays, and anime have become popular all over the world through social media and the Internet, providing an incentive for Japanese language learners. In many countries around the world, there is a tendency to use a video as a valuable learning tool for foreign language and cultural education. On the other hand, lessons that are only based on textbooks and chalkboards lack a comprehensive learning environment for learning a new language. Audio-video training allows students to overcome some of the temporal and spatial constraints of any phenomenon, and to that extent it helps to deepen students' understanding and knowledge. Some studies have shown that learners use these videos effectively for independent learning or extracurricular learning. Using such materials in classroom settings can strengthen the “relationship between classroom and extracurricular learning,” and conducting video lessons combined with listening activities can improve the quality of teaching.
