Tóm tắt

This study explores the impact of video length on English language acquisition among 112 English-major students from Tay Nguyen University. Using a mixed-methods design, the research compares short-form TikTok and long-form YouTube videos to determine their effects on learners’ motivation, vocabulary, listening comprehension, and overall engagement. Findings indicate that TikTok videos enhance motivation, short-term engagement, and quick vocabulary recall, while YouTube videos support structured study habits, contextual understanding, and long-term listening comprehension. The results highlight that combining short and long video formats can optimize language exposure, sustain learner motivation, and promote autonomy. The study suggests that educators integrate both video types strategically to balance motivation with depth in English language instruction.
