English language has been used for centuries as a Lingua Franca. Students who speak English as a foreign language are exposed to it through different techniques, and YouTube is one of them. By using this application, EFL learners will be able to experience the language helpfully. Therefore, students will be exposed to the culture of the native speakers, practice all language skills, and develop new vocabulary in different contexts. As a result, students will improve their language skills, especially listening skill, and use different vocabulary in different situations. In addition, YouTube provides a reliable aid for students to learn the language meaningfully.
