Sumario:This research is part of a network for teaching innovation put forward by Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED, Spain), aimed at improving students’ foreign language competence through the integration of short video lessons in several language courses. The results show heterogeneity in the different languages, both in the number of videos deemed necessary for the course and the tools preferred for the preparation of the audiovisual material. As for the students’ perception of their own progress in language proficiency, they reported an increased motivation and engagement, which resulted in a perceived improvement in their oral skills, lexis and grammar, but not so much in their written production.
