英文摘要 | YouTube has become a world wide craze in the cyber world. People use this website to express their unique thinking, creativity, emotion, ideas and almost everything. Even though most people just use it as a window to communicate with the ordinary viewers, the potential to highly enhance language teaching can never be overlooked. YouTube offers the most needed data in language teaching field, including the realia, the first hand information from a native speaker, and the real life experience from other cultures. It also offers the real record of different events, such as the great speeches from world renowned speakers, dignitaries, and politicians. It also provides the real life pictures or films of the culture-related activities, which can easily solve the problems commonly encountered by language teachers. With the information from the website, teachers can save a lot of time creating teaching aids or materials and can use the data there to give assignments to learners and can also train students in the best ways. However, the use of YouTube could also have its own defects. If used ineffectively, the efforts could be in vain and the results could be limited. This paper aims to explore the facilities and information YouTube offers and their impact on the language learning field and how language teaching practitioners and researchers can use it as effective assistance in the teaching of another language. A total of 101 college freshmen from two intact classes in two private universities participated in this study. Each student was given a questionnaire about their opinions of using YouTube in their English classroom. Their responses were then analyzed and reported. Finally, based on their response, the author offers some thinking about how to use YouTube in their curriculum to turn a boring lecture-oriented class into a vivid and effective one. |
