| dc.description.abstract | Vocabulary has always been one of the challenging tasks in the process of teaching and learning English as a foreign language. In spite of its great importance, this aspect is almost neglected in the language teaching curriculum. As most of language learners aim to develop their level of communication, reading, writing and speaking, they have to first learn enough words. Thus, this process is no longer limited to books and boards rather technology has been imposing itself to the field of education by providing a vast number of tools to learn vocabulary. The present dissertation seeks at introducing one of these tools, video podcasts, in the teaching / learning process. It aims at investigating students' attitudes towards the use of video podcasts to develop learners' vocabulary. Thus, to validate or refute the hypothesis which implies that the use of video podcasts develops learners' vocabulary, a descriptive study design was adopted relying on students' questionnaire. We administered the questionnaire to 54 first year English students at L'Arbi Ben M'hidi University in order to investigate their attitudes about the importance of video podcasts as a new learning tool in improving students' vocabulary. Results of the study confirmed the great importance that EFL learners give to vocabulary knowledge, and showed their high degree of interest in the integration of video podcasts in the teaching/ learning process. | ar |
