Abstract

English storytelling, audiovisual clips, and English songs are rarely applied in college in Shijiazhuang Hebei, China, and perhaps the attitude and motivation to learn English will be affected among college students. On the other hand, although many studies have shown that audiovisual is very beneficial to English learning, young students are very interested in English storytelling, children’s songs, and videos (Gusrayani, 2015). Whether audiovisual English learning tools still attract college students and how they impact their learning motivation. Little research has been done on college students’ attitudes toward these three learning tools. To fill the gap, this paper studies students’ attitudes toward short storytelling, Audiovisual Clips, and English Songs that can affect academic motivation in learning English among college students in Shijiazhuang city Hebei, China. A survey has been conducted on 325 students majoring in English at Shijiazhuang university. The survey was designed and analyzed by t-test, correlation, and regression data. The results indicate that college students’ attitudes toward the three English learning tools are general, and their preference for English short videos is higher than English storytelling and English songs. It is found that their interest has no significant impact on learning motivation and there are significant differences in the attitudes of males and females toward English songs and English clips. Females are more interested in English songs and English clips than males, and English video clips mostly attract women.
