ABSTRACT

Due to the development of the technological devices and technologically assisted teaching and learning materials, tools, and strategies, the teaching and learning behaviors of both teachers and students have been changed. Currently, technology and visual learning tools are some of the effective tools for many classroom environments. The researcher's aim was to determine, understand and evaluate the effectiveness of the Visual-Only Video Teaching Strategy with nursing students and how this, together with a visual-only video-oriented strategy could increase the motivation and interest of learning the English language in the college and university classroom environments. The current study employed the Visual-Only Video Teaching Strategy as the main tool for English as a Foreign Language teaching and learning with a group of first-year nursing students with an intermediate to advanced level of English language proficiency. Based on the qualitative research design with both semi-structure interview sessions and focus group activities, the researcher collected a total of 42 first-year nursing students to experience the Visual-Only Video Teaching Strategy as the teaching tool during a 16-week semester in South Korea. The results indicated that the visual-only video materials with the natures of local facilities and sites highly increase the motivation of learning. Also, social media platform took an important role to increase the interaction and motivation of learning. The outcomes of this study provided an alternative and innovative teaching and learning strategy beyond the traditional teacher-centered and top-down teaching and learning approaches used in the current East Asian educational environment.
