Title: THE EFFECTIVE USE OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS FOR TEACHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN CLASSROOMS AS SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL AT TAIBAH UNIVERSITY IN ALULA
Writer: Wael Abdulrahman Almurashi (Department of Languages and Translations, Faculty of Science and Arts, Taibah University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)
Participant : The population of the study was 53 learners studying the English     language at Taibah University in Alula: 30 learners from group A and 23 students from group B

=======================================================================

The paper discusses the effective role of the multimodal text found in many YouTube videos for teaching English inside the classrooms. It can improve the performance of students and upgrade their levels in English courses.

This paper found that YouTube could be a good material to incorporate English lessons and it can help with understanding the lesson as well. It is conceived to be more effective and successful than textbook-based English courses. However, the study does not intend to detract from the role of textbook-based English courses. It suggests that YouTube can be integrated into traditional English courses as a supplementary tool.

Future research in the efficient use of YouTube videos in teaching and learning English is essential, specifically to investigate learners’ attitudes towards the use of YouTube and negative concerns that learners may have while learning new languages by using YouTube or tutors’ experiences with using YouTube videos.

Language teachers should bear in mind their own contexts and target audience when it comes to videos that may create a conflict with other cultures. Administrators should hold workshops and seminars to train lecturers or teachers on how to implement technology in their English lessons.
