The Impact of YouTube Motivational Videos on EFL Learners’ Oral Presentations:

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of YouTube motivational videos on enhancing speaking proficiency among EFL learners, particularly in oral presentations. The primary aim is to determine the effectiveness of these videos in increasing students' engagement, confidence, and willingness to participate in oral activities. The study hypothesizes that YouTube motivational videos can significantly improve learners' speaking skills by helping them overcome challenges such as anxiety and lack of fluency. A descriptive quantitative method was used, employing questionnaires distributed to second-year LMD students and teachers at the University of 08 Mai 1945 Guelma. The findings support the hypothesis, revealing that both students and teachers hold positive attitudes toward integrating YouTube videos into language learning, and students experience notable improvements in their speaking proficiency. The study contributes valuable insights into how digital tools can be used to enhance language learning outcomes in EFL classrooms
