Unsupervised Learning: Using Educational Videos as a Learning Tool to Enhance the English Vocabulary Use for the I-Generation
Words are the foundation that we need to build our meaning on; therefore, without vocabulary, one cannot communicate properly or create a single comprehensible conversation (Ghazal, 2007, p. 84). Furthermore, Bowen and Marks (2002) describe vocabulary as follows: “words are the base of language which makes them the base of communication indicating the pivotal role of vocabulary knowledge in second language acquisition” (as cited in Ebrahimzadeh, 2017, p. 1). Consequently, not having an adequate amount of vocabulary leads to a deficiency in language production (Ebrahimzadeh, 2017, p. 1). This paper aims to highlight the most salient studies that are related to enhance the new generation of EFL students’ vocabulary attainment through the use of educational videos outside the classroom setting.
