How does video dubbing improve Chinese language skills

Video dubbing improves Chinese language skills primarily by enhancing oral language abilities such as pronunciation, fluency, grammatical accuracy, and vocabulary use. When learners dub videos, they actively practice speaking by recording their voices over video clips, which helps them better engage with the language in a realistic context. This method requires them to imitate natural speech patterns, synchronize speech with lip movements, and understand meaning, all of which contribute to improving speaking proficiency and oral skills in Chinese. Additionally, video dubbing can increase learner motivation, engagement, and confidence in using the language.

Key benefits include:

• Practice in pronunciation and intonation by mimicking native speech.
• Improved fluency through repeated speaking practice.
• Development of vocabulary and grammatical accuracy.
• Active engagement with authentic materials, aiding comprehension and retention.
• Increased learner confidence through creative and enjoyable activities.

Research has shown that video dubbing tasks lead to noticeable improvements in learners’ oral language skills, including pronunciation and fluency, across different proficiency levels. ^{1, 2, 3}
