Özet
This
qualitative study aims to put a critical perspective on instructional videos that
aim to teach English pronunciation and attempts to draw up some practical
guidelines that could help teachers produce pedagogically more valuable videos
and distinguish such materials from less useful ones if they are to select instructional
videos. The main point of investigation is to uncover what makes a good video
from the perspective of learners and whether and to what extent such supposedly
good videos conform to well-established principles of multimedia learning. The
researcher sampled the videos/channels for analysis from YouTube based on some
video properties, such as length, pace of the presentation, the native language
of the creator and user comments. They were examined with respect to academic
structure, presentation, materials used and user comments, with a particular
focus on well-established principles of multimedia learning design. Nvivo v12
was used to annotate the videos and qualitatively analyze the user comments
that the videos received. A major contribution of this study is that it attempts
to put forward some central recommendations for creating and selecting
instructional videos for teaching and
learning English pronunciation based on the results of the analysis.
