| Abstract | ||
| The objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of utilizing YouTube English conversation videos as a means of enhancing listening ability and addressing some classroom challenges in the second stage at Ensaaf Serry Secondary School for females in Egypt. Some of the issues include a limited vocabulary, inadequate connecting, omission of sounds or syllables, and various language errors. Prior studies have demonstrated the importance of connecting and omitting sounds in spontaneous speech, in addition to the influence of accurate pronunciation on understanding. Nonetheless, it is imperative to address the disparity between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation, especially among students who encounter challenges in listening comprehension. Based on this information, the researcher examines the use of YouTube videos as an instructional tool to enhance students' listening abilities. The findings demonstrated that YouTube empowers educators to design activities aimed at enhancing students' listening ability, while also assisting them in distinguishing language, pace, and contraction. In addition, YouTube offers learners in the classroom the ability to decipher the voice or words they hear by providing both auditory and visual components. While acquiring knowledge in the subject matter, students also aim to enhance their language proficiency. In order to accomplish the goal of this study, the researcher plans to employ action research methodology, utilizing instruments such as pre-test and post-test assessments. These assessments will be conducted before and after participants watch a YouTube video, with the aim of evaluating the efficacy of using YouTube videos to improve listening ability. Consequently, the outcome was favorable for the selected group of students. | ||
