Authors : Marouf Fatima . Dib Mohammed .

Abstract

The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of using authentic video materials in the ESP classrooms as a pedagogical tool to facilitate the teaching and learning processes. In doing so, a study was conducted in the department of Physics at Mascara University where a sample of thirty-eight Third Year students was selected. The data were gathered through a questionnaire addressed to the students and a semi-structured interview conducted with their teacher. To analyse the data, a mixed-methods approach has been used. The findings reveal that the pedagogical use of authentic videos is efficient for both the students and the teacher because the appropriate selection of the video attracts the students’ attention and facilitates the task for the teacher in creating a new learning environment. As a conclusion, we suggest the use of technology-based materials in all the ESP disciplines with all the specific groups of learners.
