Using Video Materials with Special Viewing Techniques: part 3

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog!

Today, i'm going to talk about the journal article i was reading. If you haven't read my previous blog, go on to this link. 

In the previous blog, i made a summary of the literature review on the article i was reading. Now, i want to make another summary which will be focused on the research method that used in this article. Anyways, the researcher used experimental method to collect their data.

Participants
The participants were 45 Iranian high school learners. They were in the third and fourth grade and in the age range of 16 to 18 years. The 45 participants were divided into 3 groups of 15 intermediate learners. The three groups have two experimental groups and one control group. Experimental group (A) treated with silent viewing mode to be used on playing the video materials, while the experimental group (B) treated with freeze frame viewing mode. The control group didn't receive any treatment.

Instruments
-Oxford Placement Test (OPT) was used to choose the 45 homogeneous participants from among 150 learners. 
-International English Language Testing System (IELTS) was used as pre- and post-tests which had 20 questions based on Cambridge IELTS test (2011).

Video material
Of course there will be video material on this article that used by the researcher. They used "Family Album USA" which directed by Jo Anne Sedwick and Merril M Mazuer and produced by Alvin Cooperman. From 26 episodes, the researcher used 5 episodes for the experimental groups.

Procedures
The 45 participants were choosen after they finished the OPT test. Then, they were randomly divided into three groups. After that, they did a pre-test based on IELTS listening to determine a starting point, so the researcher would be able to discover their pre-test with inevitable result. The results of the pre-tests revealed that there were no significant difference in learners' performance on the pre-test among the three groups. 
The experimental group received Family Album USA as their treatments for 10 sessions. The control group didn't receive any video materials, however they got written materials orally by role-playing and other learning activities.
After 10 sessions, all the participants were examined to do a post-test, identical to the pre-test but it has different answers to avoid the potential effect of memory factors.

Finally, we're at the end of this blog. I hope this summary could be useful for anyone who reads this. Thank you, everyone!

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Hello folks! Welcome back to my blog! It's been a week since i posted about Naming Traditions on my blog and today i want to talk about different thing.  Tuesday ago, in the class of post-intermediate reading, we discussed about "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." It's a book by John Gray. Talking about what makes women and men have differences. I find it interesting to be honest though i haven't finished the book. Let's talk about it a little! When women have to deal with their problems, they feel better to talk about their problems instead of finding solutions. Meanwhile men feel better to looking up for solutions. Most of them prefer to be silent than talking or sharing it to other people. I sometimes find it hard for myself to keep these problems. I feel like world needs to know about my problems. It's actually not a good way, i realized that. I'm trying to erase this habit. It's billion percent would be better to find a solut...
