This study conducted a mixed-method study of the influence of audio and video input mode on free-recall listening performance. It first explored quantitatively whether input mode significantly influenced 34 sophomores’ performance in general and across two genres (passage and long dialogue) and three ranks of idea units (the discourse topic, main point , and supporting detail). Then it investigated qualitatively how four of the participants interacted with the audio and video input. T-test results showed the video mode significantly facilitated listening performance in general and for long dialogue in particular, as well as the recall of supporting details for long dialogue. Qualitative findings revealed that the participants’ interaction with the video varied with their language proficiency and the visual-verbal relationship in the input, suggesting the threshold of language proficiency for the visuals to take effect and the intervening effect of visual input and task features.

输入模式对EFL自由召回听力性能的影响：混合方法研究

这项研究对音频和视频输入模式对自由呼听性能的影响进行了混合方法研究。首先，它定量地研究了输入方式是否对34位大二学生的表现产生了重大影响，并且影响了两种类型（段落和长时间对话）和三个思路单元级别（话语主题，要点和支持细节）。然后，它定性地研究了四个参与者如何与音频和视频输入进行交互。T检验结果表明，视频模式总体上显着促进了收听性能，尤其是长时间对话，以及长期对话的支持细节的召回。定性调查结果显示，参与者与视频的互动随着他们的语言能力和输入中的视觉语言关系而变化，
