The effect of audio, a single picture, multiple pictures, or video on second-language listening comprehension

Although aural and visual media have long been used in the second-language classroom, relatively little information exists to show that media are really effective for preparing students to deal with communicative situations. This study investigated whether hearing the audio of natural dialogs without images or in conjunction with single, multiple, or moving-video images facilitated listening comprehension in college students enrolled in intermediate- and advanced-French courses and contrasted them with students who saw only the visual portion of the same dialogs.
