“…At the university level, research has demonstrated that groups who participate in watching Youtube videos to assist them during a reading activity were more likely to receive better scores compared to students who did not participate in the intervention. Vocabulary achievement was a long-term effect associated with this outcome (Kabooha & Elyas, 2018). Another advantage is that Youtube videos could be used to educate students about some of the diversity that appears in English speaking across the world to better prepare them for some of the social situations that they may find themselves in (Jalaluddin, 2016).…”

<p><em>It is beneficial for educators to apply the use of modeling strategies to assist English language learners (ELLs) and their ability to improve their understanding of word diction and the movements that are needed to create English sounds using their mouths and tongues. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Youtube, as a media source that is able to model language practice in an engaging manner, can be used to help ELLs gain improve word pronunciation skills. A questionnaire was administered to students to assess the attitudes that students had towards using Youtube to improve their motivation to speak and practice language in class. The results demonstrated that the use of Youtube in the English language classroom represents an engaging method, and this motivates students to participate in these lessons. Furthermore, participation in English speaking lessons using Youtube videos increased student confidence about their English-speaking abilities. It is therefore reasonable for educators to continue to use Youtube and other video media as a part of instruction in the ELL classroom because this motivates students to learn and to practice their speaking skills aloud with confidence, enabling them to achieve their language attainment goals.</em></p>

This study examines the benefits of using the mobile application Learn English Grammar for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) with students attending King Abdul Aziz University in Saudi Arabia. The participants consisted of fifty-two female pre-intermediate level students in the foundation year program, with twenty-seven assigned to the experimental group and twenty-five forming the control. Both groups undertook a pre-test to ensure an equal level of skill and a post-test to establish any statistically significant differences in their grammatical attainment. The findings revealed a significant difference at p=0.006 in favor of the experimental group. The students completed a questionnaire, which revealed a positive attitude towards the application, while the teacher’s reflective notes indicated that it created an exciting and motivating learning environment. This study contributes to the area of mobile learning in EFL classrooms by highlighting the importance of mobile applications for both improving the classroom environment and facilitating students’ language acquisition.
