“…As clarified by definitions of the types of rap songs, it could be inferred that conscious rap and storytelling rap are the most appropriate types for English language teaching purposes. Nevertheless, conscious or storytelling rap songs careful song selection is the key to increasing the effectiveness of rap-song-based classes (Belle, 2016;Im, 2022). Therefore, teachers must carefully consider the content of the songs, their appropriateness for the classroom, and the potential challenges that students may face in understanding and interpreting the lyrics.…”

The use of rap songs in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) to young adult learners through different approaches is noteworthy to investigate due to their popularity and rich authentic language. Although the use of rap songs is exemplified and used in ESL (English as a second language) contexts, teaching English through rap songs is a topic that has not been investigated thoroughly within the Turkish EFL context yet. This may be due to the fact that rap songs also contain negative use of language and themes that are not suitable for educational use. Therefore, as a defense for the educational value of rap songs for EFL teaching, this review study focuses on reasons for using rap songs in teaching EFL contexts based on the literature. Besides, to provide practical ideas for the effective use of rap songs in teaching English to adult EFL learners, the following issues are addressed: (1) Selection criteria for finding suitable rap songs for language teaching purposes, (2) Practical suggestions to design engaging rap song-based lessons for different proficiency levels, (3) Samples of extracurricular activities that can be applied in English language preparatory programs. Keywords: Rap songs, songs in ELT, teaching young adults.

“…Its material can aid in developing EFL students' language abilities in various contexts and settings (Albahiri & Alhaj, 2020;Kristiani & Pradnyadewi, 2021;Nasution, 2019;Sari, Dardjito & Azizah, 2020). Researchers all over the world have conducted studies on YouTube in EFL areas, such as Jordan (Saed et al, 2021), Afghanistan (Noori, Orfan, Akramy & Hashemi, 2022), Taiwan (Chien, Huang & Huang, 2020), South Korea (Im, 2022), and Kazakhstan (Toleuzhan, Sarzhanova, Romanenko, Uteubayeva & Karbozova, 2023). Few studies were conducted on factors affecting the use of YouTube to improve English-speaking skills as a vitally important productive skill for efficient communication, especially in developing countries like Indonesia.…”

This study examines the factors affecting the intention to use and actual use of YouTube in improving English-speaking skills in Indonesia. To meet the aims, we extended the theory of technology acceptance model (TAM); two external factors, subjective norms, and perceived enjoyment, to support the TAM variables (perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude, intention to use, and actual use). Data were collected through a survey with 526 measurable responses from Indonesian preservice English teachers in three Indonesian universities. The data were analyzed through partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), measurement, and structural model. The findings informed that all hypothesized relationships were accepted and confirmed. The strongest relationship emerged between intention to use and actual use. Meanwhile, the weakest correlation was between subjective norms and perceived ease of use. The study facilitates recommendations for future researchers, language educators, and all related parties.
