| Guidelines |
| The thesis should have two goals:
1. Conduct a user study to evaluate the effectiveness of learning multiple languages by watching the same video episodes presented in different formats or variations The study will explore how different methods of video-based language learning affect the acquisition of vocabulary in learners who are exposed to multiple languages. The same videos will be presented in different formats to different groups. This study aims to contribute to our understanding of how video-based language learning can be optimized for effective and efficient learning. 2. Develop a language learning computer program that facilitates the study of multiple languages at the same time using audiovisual materials Based on the results of the user study, create a program that given a video file with audio tracks in multiple languages, and corresponding subtitle files: - breaks down the video to a user and allows them to learn multiple languages concurrently. - creates exercises for long-term retention of vocabulary/phrases. |
