Roles of Video in Korean Listening Assessment: Focusing on Proficiency

The purpose of this study is to confirm the roles of video in listening test and to measure visual factors influencing listening comprehension by its degree of proficiency. This study conducted two different types of tests: audio only test and audiovisual test were performed on 31 learners. The result showed that learners in audiovisual test had performed better in Korean listening comprehension assessment and it had statistically meaningful difference. As a result of investigation on visual factors which are helpful in listening understanding, it was verified that situation and psychological factors ranked high, but speaker related factors were verified in low ranking. More Specifically, it was found that both the listening situation and the learner’s psychological status were helpful for listening comprehension, whereas mouth shape, facial expression and gesture had limited impact. Based on these results, the concept of Korean listening ability was broadly defined including ability to use visual cues throughout this thesis.
