This study investigated the effectiveness of using YouTube teaching materials with peer support on students’ mastery of subject content learning, motivation, obstacles, and benefits they acquired in learning through this media. This study involved 60 undergraduate students attending the English Language Teaching Method Course (ELTMC) at a university in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The study used mixed methods: quantitative and qualitative. A quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design was used to see the effectiveness of using YouTube teaching materials with peer support and without peer support on students’ mastery of the course. The instruments used to collect the data were tests and an open-ended questionnaire. The findings revealed that using YouTube teaching materials with peer support significantly improved students’ mastery of the subject content of ELTMC compared to those without peer support. The study also reported that only 13 of 30 students had problems learning the subject via the media in the experimental group with peer support. The problems were the speed of speaking by the native speakers, lengthy videos, different English accents that were difficult to absorb, and unclear video sounds. Meanwhile, the benefits include the presence of the native speakers in the videos who are creative and accurate in the language being learned (i.e., English), the joy and positive challenges they got from watching the videos and having discussions afterward with peers. The availability of peer assistance enabled students to comprehend the teaching material delivered through actual media on YouTube on a deeper level.

This study investigates students’ difficulties in mastering listening comprehension and the strategies they employ to overcome difficulties in the English Education Department of UIN Ar-Raniry, Banda Aceh. This research aims to identify the types of listening difficulties experienced by students across semester levels and to examine the learning strategies they use based on Oxford’s (1990) Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). This study employed a mixed-method design combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The participants consisted of 104 students from different semester levels selected through stratified sampling. Quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from SILL, with mean scores categorized according to Oxford’s rating scale. Qualitative data were gathered through focus group discussions (FGD) and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (1992) interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students experience listening difficulties at a medium level across five main indicators: accent and intonation, sentence structure, keyword identification, distinguishing key information, and understanding real-life situations. Among these, accent variation and sentence complexity were reported as the most challenging aspects. In terms of strategies, cognitive strategies emerged as the most frequently used, followed by compensation and social strategies, while memory, metacognitive, and affective strategies were used at a medium level. Higher-semester students demonstrated advanced strategic awareness and use of metacognitive and social strategies compared to lower-semester students. The findings contribute theoretically to the understanding of listening comprehension difficulties and strategy use in EFL contexts and provide practical implications for lecturers to design more strategy-oriented listening instruction.
