ABSTRACT: The aim of this research is; the analysis of the effect of delivering the introduction activity, which is among the classroom teaching situations, in native language under the guidance of an instructor with usage of video learning object, instead of using a lecturer who uses target language and makes a classic presentation in foreign language teaching process. In this study, eight video learning objects were used. It is a quantitative and experimental study. Data were collected by using multi-subject, AB (mixed) patterns, static test and control group comparatives, pre- and post-test control group model. SPSS 25 statistical program was analyzed by Mann Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests with partial eta-square and eta-square statistics. According to the results of this study: at A1.2 level, in foreign language teaching processes; instead of a lecturer who uses target language and classical presentation, the instructor guided input activity given by the lecturer with video and learning object prepared in mother tongue is highly effective in developing language skills. In terms of language skill types, while compared to the lecturer who uses classical presentation, instructor guided input activity given by the lecturer with video and learning object prepared in mother tongue does not make a significant difference in other skill type development, it’s highly effective in developing speaking skills. This situation was similar in terms of language skills only in speaking skills. It is expected that the study can give similar results for B2 and lower language skill levels. In addition, it has been proposed to reach at least 30 subjects and to repeat this and other patterns in order to make the generalizability of the study effective.
