Teachers’ uses of YouTube videos to improve English skills: student attitude survey.

Abstract

Videos are now popular with online English classes, and the use of videos claims to be effective in teaching English skills, grammar, and specialized areas. The researcher discovered that the students feel more motivated and become more active during the lessons based on her own class observations and preliminary interviews with students enrolled in the business English course at Thuongmai University. With such a simple technique, however, it turns out that the lessons need more preparation in terms of content and radical methodology rather than just embedding some authentic videos in the learning and teaching of English so that the students can better their English skills, learning motives, and professional business knowledge.
