Video materials mainly differ from the current events and news materials in the
input channel aspect. Current events and news are usually presented in the written input
mode. Video materials, whatever their linguistic organization, require aural and visual
processing. While current events materials may provide a relatively rich sampling of
language structure and vocabulary in printed form, the video materials provide contextual
clues about the meaning of language forms and functions through the visual medium. We
can anticipate, therefore, that there would be a differential interface between these two
types of materials with the content and format of the TOEIC test.
