| Abstract: |
Multimedia tools, especially captioned video, have been gaining popularity in language teaching for the teaching of vocabulary; however, little is known about how students' preferred genres affect incidental learning. This study examined the effect of action-genre captioned video on incidental vocabulary learning among 46 male Iranian high school students (16–17 years old, A2 Proficiency). The participants were divided into an experimental group, who watched a full-length captioned action film, and a control group, who watched the same video without captions. Vocabulary knowledge, measured by pre-test and post-test, was analyzed via a One-Way ANCOVA with adjustments for initial differences of the two groups. According to the results, captioned action videos significantly aided incidental vocabulary learning as opposed to non-captioned input. The positive effect of leدarners' engagement with materials of their preferences and motivation resulted in further vocabulary gains; thus, highlighting the importance of genre and learner interest in multimedia-based instruction. By using wholelength, genre-specific videos instead of short, generic clips, the study extends previous research and suggests that adapting multimedia content to learners' preferences can enhance formmeaning mapping and retention. The findings presented offer pedagogical implications for designing motivating and effective materials for teaching EFL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
