Abstract

Social media acts as a source of information, entertainment media, discussion space, enriching learning resources, increasing creativity, and increasing student understanding, allowing students to create awareness about students' potential to become intellectually active. The most common social media used in EFL classrooms are Facebook, Whatsapp, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. Many have argued that YouTube provides authentic learning sources for improving students' English skills. Despite the availability and authenticity of YouTube videos to provide practice in enhancing students' listening skills, especially in an online setting, its application serves some challenges. The present study aimed to explore the students' perception of the application of YouTube in listening classes during online learning. This study was a qualitative study involving 32 university students. Data were collected from a questionnaire consisting of 31 items distributed through Google Form. The analysis resulted in students’ positive perception in the forms of four benefits: improving listening skills, increasing interest and motivation to learn, building critical thinking, and sharpening creativity. The identified shortcomings are the internet connection and the expensive internet credit. The present study confirms the usability of YouTube videos to practice students' listening skills, especially in online learning, where students need flexibility and creativity. However, it implies suggestions for stakeholders to provide stable and affordable internet connections so online learning can be conducted more effectively.

Abstract

YouTube has become one of the most visited social media globally. Its saturation in students' lives has triggered experiments and observations on the use of YouTube as learning media. This article discusses the use of YouTube videos to teach English language skills using George's literature review model. The databases for selecting the articles used as the data source in this study were Google scholar and ERIC. The relevant articles were published in reputable international journals and nationally accredited journals in the past ten years. Studies on the use of YouTube videos as a teaching medium indicate that using YouTube videos can improve students' listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills and solve their problems in mastering the skills. Furthermore, YouTube videos have been proven to help students solve their grammar difficulties and increase their vocabulary. YouTube videos are also agreed to have kept the students more interested, motivated, and enthusiastic towards English language learning. These results imply that relevant YouTube videos can provide good learning media for supporting students' learning of English as a Foreign Language.
