Description
This study explores the influence of short-form video content (e.g., YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels) on preschool children’s English language acquisition in Kosovo. With the increasing use of digital media by young children, understanding its role in language development is crucial. The study aims to identify whether exposure to short-form videos contributes positively or negatively to children’s vocabulary, pronunciation, and motivation in learning English. Data will be collected through a questionnaire distributed to 30 parents of preschool children in Kamenica. The findings will provide insights into the educational potential and risks of digital media in early childhood language development.
