Abstract


This article describes the design and development of an online video-based listening comprehension package. It illustrates a study which attempts to explore the video features and content from a group of year-1 university students of Hong Kong for the design of a listening comprehension package. The results of the study indicate that students value the following video features and content in a listening comprehension package: subtitles, slower speaker speed, vocabulary support, authentic and interesting content. Implications of these findings for the design and development of listening material are then discussed.
