Abstract

Teaching media as supporting facilities is one of the important parts that must be provided because it improves teaching performance in implementing the learning activity. In connection with technology developments, teachers can choose one of the technology media that suits the teaching objective or motivates the students to be autonomous learners. Therefore, this study attempts to promote the possibility of using Youtube videos in the teaching-learning process, especially in teaching intercultural communication to EFL learners. By using Youtube videos, teachers can show the cultural context that is relevant to the language being taught so it can provide an interactive learning environment and motivate students to learn faster and better.

Abstract

This research paper examines the challenges faced by university students in listening and note-taking skills in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. As essential components of academic success, these skills are often hindered by various linguistic and cognitive factors unique to EFL learners. The study examines difficulties such as limited vocabulary, unfamiliar accents, fast-paced lectures, and inadequate note-taking strategies. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with EFL university students, revealing a lack of training, low confidence, and difficulties in processing spoken information while simultaneously writing notes. The findings underscore the need for pedagogical interventions that combine listening practice with explicit instruction in note-taking techniques. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the academic support required to improve listening comprehension and note-taking efficiency among EFL students in higher education.
