However, the limited proficiency in English language skills has made it a hard topic for international and non-native English speakers, particularly engineering students. In this study, the application was investigated of a visual-only video teaching strategy (VOVTS) as a teaching and learning tool for English language teaching at a community college in California, USA. The results demonstrate that after the semester-long freshman English class for ELL engineering students, which incorporated the VOVTS, both the instructor and the students expressed significantly positive opinions for the teaching strategy that made use of a social media learning platform. These findings contribute to the knowledge on alternative teaching strategies through social media learning platforms for language learning classrooms for engineering students.enCommunity CollegeEngineering EducationEnglish Language LearnerEnglish Language Teaching and LearningVisual-Only Video Teaching StrategyPeer Reviewed Journal Article
