A You Tube video clip and smartphones were used for the lesson. The subjects in the pilot lesson were freshmen in a non-language-related faculty in a university in Japan. Twenty two students were involved in this pilot study which was administered in the fall semester in 2018. The main aim of the pilot study was to serve as a pre-test and to observe whether the use of smartphones and the You Tube video clip was appropriate for the lesson in terms of drawing low-achieving and/or reluctant students’ attention towards the lesson, and checking the level of English of the video. The aim of the pilot study also included accumulating qualitative data as a foundation for creating questionnaires for improving/evaluating similar lessons/materials in the future.}, pages = {19--29}, title = {An attempt at the use of smartphones and a You Tube video clip: An exploration of an EFL listening lesson in a university in Japan}, volume = {30}, year = {2019} }
