| Popis: | 97 Listening comprehension is crucial to language learning, but it is difficult to second language learners. Computer-assisted language learning with caption is helpful to learners by visual approach that supports learners in memory and comprehension. Although the visual approach of caption facilitates learners in listening comprehension, it makes learners become dependent on it and lowers learners’ active level on learning. The purpose of the present study is to examine the effect of different levels of active process in listening comprehension of Chinese as a foreign language learning. The implementation of scaffolding and rehearsal in the study is to enhance active learning level for learners. The experimental design was applied in the study and the participants of the study were 52 students from Thailand. The participants were randomly assigned to four groups including (a) listening with rehearsal and caption by scaffolding (RCS), (b) listening with caption by scaffolding (LCS), (c) listening with caption (WIC) and (d) listening without caption (WOC). The result revealed that: (a) different levels of active learning significantly affected the performance of computer-assisted Chinese as second language learning; (b) LCS significantly enhanced learners’ listening comprehension in Chinese; and (c) the statement that rehearsal significantly enhanced learners’ listening comprehension in Chinese was not supported in the study. |
