Types of Video for Developing Students' Strategic Competence

Abstract

This article examines the various types of video content that can be effectively utilized to develop students' strategic competence in language learning contexts. Strategic competence, as a crucial component of communicative competence, encompasses the ability to employ communication strategies to overcome linguistic limitations and achieve communicative goals. The study categorizes video types based on their pedagogical functions and strategic learning objectives, including authentic materials, instructional videos, interactive multimedia content, and student-generated productions. Through analysis of current research and practical applications, this article demonstrates how different video formats can enhance students' metacognitive awareness, compensatory strategies, and communicative effectiveness. The findings suggest that a diverse approach incorporating multiple video types yields optimal results in developing strategic competence, with particular emphasis on authentic materials and interactive content that promote real-world application of communication strategies.
