The data were collected quantitatively and qualitatively through two main research tools, namely Likert-scale questionnaires and semi-structured focus group interviews. First, quantitative data was collected through the questionnaires delivered to 86 non-English major students using Google forms to investigate how they perceive video-based tasks in the AEF series in terms of three components, namely Goals, Input and Procedures. Then, qualitative data, which were gathered from two focus groups of student volunteers, were used to confirm and supplement the findings from the first tool. It was then discovered that the student participants’ responses to the video-based tasks in American English File (AEF) series were generally positive. Moreover, students can improve their listening ability, have more motivation in listening lessons as well as better acquire real-life input from the videos.</p> ER -
