A midgardian's blog

Hello guys, today i'd like to share you some gaps between the first journal article i have reviewed and the second journal article i was reading. The topic is about analyzing the weaknesses and the strengths of those two articles. But what i've done is analyzing it slightly.

Hello, everyone! Today, i'd like to share my new reading material, it's still about scientific article. My concern is still into listening skill. However there are some differences and similarities between two of these articles. Oh, i almost forgot to tell you what my new reading material is. The title is "YouTube Videos in Teaching Listening: The Benefits in Experts’ Views" which had been collected by Lidia Puspa Ayu in 2016. As you can read from its title, this article is about experts' perspective towards the advantage of using YouTube as an instructional tool in teaching listening.  Now, i'm about to compare the journal article i've reviewed previously and the journal article i haven't read to it entirely. Anyways, my previous journal review has "The Impact of Silent and Freeze-Frame Viewing Techinques of Video Materials on the Intermediate EFL Learners' Listening Comprehension as its title.
