Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of video captions versus generative artificial intelligence (GAI) mind mapping for enhancing English as a second language (L2) listening skills among 79 EFL undergraduates in Macau. Using TED-Ed videos, the study employed pre-/post-tests and thematic analysis of reflective journals. Results indicated that the GAI mind mapping group significantly outperformed the captions group, demonstrating greater improvements in listening skills, efficacy, and strategy development. In contrast, the captions group experienced cognitive overload and limited engagement. This research offers valuable insights for educators seeking to optimise L2 listening instruction in EMI settings.
