 note = {Class participation levels and the effectiveness of classroom materials are hot topics in Japan's educational system, particularly in EFL. This research focused on the use of video materials in the classroom and their effectiveness in maintaining the students' attention and aiding the learning process. 3^<rd> party created video material and student created video material (material created by an outside source and material created while involving the students themselves, respectively) were used and data, in terms of levels of attention displayed by the students, was recorded. The research subjects were junior college students with an average age of 19〜20 years. The findings of this research were that using student created material was more successful in maintaining the students' concentration than professionally created 3^<rd> party material. Additional benefits such as positive feedback and increased motivation were also evident., Class participation levels and the effectiveness of classroom materials are hot topics in Japan's educational system, particularly in EFL.
