competence after implementing video-based instruction, and to explore learners
attitudes towards video-based instruction. The participants were thirty-seven learners
in grade 10 selected by purposive random sampling. This study was a quasiexperimental research design qualitative study first and, then, a quantitative study.
First, a questionnaire was used to investigate the learners intercultural competence
before participating in ten periods of video-based instruction. Then, learners studied
in ten classes with adapted lesson plans, and completed the questionnaire again after
joining the intercultural competence class implemented with video-based instruction.
The questionnaire was compared and analyzed to see whether the learners had
developed or not from the intercultural competence class by implementing videobased instruction. Then, semi-structure interviews were conducted with three
participants to examine their attitudes toward video-based instruction. The data
revealed that the learners intercultural competence has increased because of the
lesson plans. They have learned to develop their intercultural competence from the
lessons. This instruction helped learners to see the real context of westerners. It gave
learners both visual and auditory modalities at the same time. Moreover, the learners
overall views through the classes were good. It could draw learners attention into the
lesson easier than traditional instruction. Besides, these classes significantly opened
the learners worldview with interesting and delightful ways.
