What makes video‐based academic lectures difficult for language learners to comprehend? The role of multimodal complexity
Emad A. Alghamdi
Abstract:By taking a multidisciplinary, evidence‐based approach to modeling video difficulty, this study investigates the impact of multimodal complexity on language learners' self‐ratings of video difficulty, while simultaneously accounting for the effects of learner differences and video production styles. A set of 320 instructional videos from the corpus of second language video complexity were analyzed using sophisticated natural language processing and computer vision algorithms to extract and compute a wide range… Show more
