The article based on Kolbs "Experiential Learning Theory," which posits that a complete learning process encompasses four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. It particularly analyzes the role of video clips in providing concrete experiences and promoting reflective observation during these two stages of the learning process. The article specifically proposes methods for collecting, storing, naming, and searching for video clips, as well as specific strategies for their application in the classroom, such as timing, duration control, and interaction with students. Based on years of teaching practice, the author finds that video clips are particularly effective in introductory and intermediate Japanese courses, especially for teaching everyday expressions. The article also discusses the differences in student responses to video clips and emphasizes the moral education considerations when selecting video content. This study offers an effective approach to utilizing video resources in foreign language teaching, aiming to enhance both teaching outcomes and learning efficiency.
