Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates superior vocabulary learning and retention with video-enhanced input in university EFL students, highlighting the pedagogical value of audiovisual multimedia.

Key Points

To examine the effects of varying multimedia input modalities on receptive and productive foreign language vocabulary acquisition and retention.
Randomized trial allocating 125 Chinese-speaking university students across four learning conditions: definition + word information + video, definition + word information + audio, definition + word information, and definition-only.
Assessed receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge using a pretest, an immediate posttest, and a 2-week delayed retention test, analyzed via analyses of covariance.
Administered participant perception surveys and conducted qualitative interviews with five participants per learning condition.
Analyses of covariance showed pronounced positive effects of the definition + word information + video condition on immediate vocabulary learning and 2-week retention compared to audio, text-only, and definition-only formats (numerical values not reported).
Qualitative survey and interview data substantiated the quantitative gains, indicating that learners found audiovisual video integration to be the most helpful format for word comprehension and recall.
