Abstract

With the development of new Internet media, short videos have profoundly affected the study and life of college students, and their application value in the field of education has gradually become prominent. This study is supported by constructivist learning theory and second language acquisition theory, and uses a questionnaire survey method to explore the application and innovative application strategies of short video resources in the second language acquisition process of undergraduate English majors. This study clarifies the positive effect of short video resources on the independent learning ability of English college students, and analyzes the problems existing in the current application of short video resources such as resource selection, fragmentation, and addiction risks. Based on this, this study proposes innovative application strategies, namely resource screening, task driving, and addiction prevention. This study enriches the theoretical practice of integrating short video resources with second language acquisition, promotes short video resources to better serve the second language acquisition of English major students, and also provides suggestions for teachers to apply short video resources.
