Abstract: This research examined the motivational effects of using variously captioned English language video materials in teaching university level language learners in Taiwan, focusing on the use of professionally produced video materials ("Always" and "Dead Poets Society") in the language laboratory as the central text. Designed to evaluate the hypothesis that the use of video materials as the central teaching materials is highly motivational and pedagogically feasible, this study investigated the viability of replacing printed textbooks designed for use in educational settings with videotapes designed for use in the entertainment industry. The study compared motivational differences exhibited by students instructed using each approach. Researchers compared the results of motivational surveys administered to students taught using only video materials and those taught using traditional textbook materials. Data analysis indicated strong support for the suggestion that video materials can be highly successful in building student motivation. However, there was also strong demonstration of motivational increases in those classes taught using only textbook materials. Student surveys are appended. (Contains 14 pages of references.) (SM)
