Text-Related Videos and Reading Comprehension: A Brief Review of Research in the Last 20 Years

This literature review provides language teachers and researchers with an overview of the studies conducted in the last 20 years regarding the use of text-related videos to teach reading comprehension in second/foreign language classrooms. Articles were systematically selected from six data bases: Google Scholar, Quick Search, Wiley Online Library, ERIC, ProQuest Central, and Web of Science. The findings show that the utilization of text-related videos is beneficial in second/foreign language classrooms and can lead to more successful reading comprehension. Suggestions, implications of the study, and directions for future research were discussed in detail.
