- 1 School of Foreign Languages, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, Nanchang, China
Abstract
Video-based model has emerged as a promising approach for teaching spoken English (EFL), offering immersive environments that simulate real-world communication. However, video-based instruction models, especially the roots of the model and specific video-based methods in spoken English classrooms, have not yet received due attention. Given the positive impact of video-based model instruction on students’ academic performance, this study first clarifies the characteristics of authentic oral tasks on the basis of the video-based instruction model. Then, the study offers specific video-based methods in spoken English classrooms. The data results showed that the video-based instruction model could engage students in speaking activities and improve learners’ speaking ability in English.
