This study explored the impact of video design on Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) learning. The instructional videos were produced by the researchers and featured the 把 (bǎ) construction in Mandarin Chinese. This was a two-way experiment in which the first independent variable was the lecture presentation style (single-lecturer talking and two-lecturer conversation) and the other one was the lecturer questioning strategy (no question prompt requests and with question prompt requests). The dependent variable to measure was learner flow experience. A sample of 40 CSL learners participated in the study. The results showed that significant interaction effects existed. Discussions on the findings and pedagogical implications are offered in this paper.
