xAbstract
This study investigates the impact of video materials on enhancing reading and listening comprehension among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The rapid growth of digital media has made video resources an essential component of modern language instruction. Unlike traditional reading and listening exercises, video-based learning offers multimodal input that simultaneously engages visual and auditory senses, increasing comprehension and motivation. Forty intermediate-level students participated in a six-week experimental study comparing video-integrated lessons with textbook-based lessons. The results revealed that learners exposed to video materials showed greater improvement in both reading and listening skills, demonstrating that visual context and authentic speech significantly contribute to understanding, retention, and learner engagement. The study suggests that integrating videos into language instruction can promote more holistic skill development and learner autonomy.
