Video-based learning (VBL) requires good listening and reading comprehension
skills, which could be challenging for English as a foreign language (EFL) students. In this
paper, we investigate the differences between EFL and Native English speakers in a VBL
platform called AVW-Space, in order to identify potential interventions that would be helpful
for EFL students. AVW-Space provides note-taking, peer-reviewing, visualisations and
personalised nudges to support engagement in VBL. Although previous studies on AVW-Space
showed these supports were effective for increasing engagement, we discovered significant
differences in learning outcomes and engagement between EFL/Native students, which stem
from different learning strategies, background knowledge and language barriers. This research
contributes to using learning analytics to understand better the differences between EFL and
Native students, and providing more specialised support for EFL students in VBL
