i. All the participants aggree that learning with youtube is more costly because you

j. All the participants aggree that youtube provides videos that guarantee the correctness

From the result of the research, the writers can say that youtube is a good media for
students to learn as they show their preference in using youtube for learning.
Almurashi (2016) claims that the use of YouTube in teaching the English
language plays a leading role in helping learners understand their English lessons. It can
improve the performance of students and upgrade their levels in English courses. In other
words, YouTub presented a substantial influence on students' understanding of English
He also said that YouTube could be a good material to incorporate English lessons and it
can help with understanding the lesson as well. It should be considered by English
teachers in the classroom since many of the learners' responses in this study were
positive. In short, the study showed that the YouTubewebsite could be an effective
method in dealing with students' difficulties and barriers to understanding English.
In line with ideas above, (Alwehaibi, 2015; Watkin, Wilkins, 2011; Riswandi,
2016). Alwehaibi (2015) state that, it was recommended that YouTube should be
considered as an effective instructional tool for enhancing content learning of EFL
college students and as an important teaching resource in classrooms. In addition,
Watkin, Wilkins (2011) also mention that using YouTube both inside or on the outside of
the classroom can help students in their speaking, listening, and also pronunciation skills.

4.2 Conclusion

This research looked at several reasons for using YouTube in EFL classrooms with a
focus on cognitive and affective reasons While some studies have been inconclusive
regarding the benefit of the video in the EFL context. The writers have assumed that
the use of video will help the students in learning, if students are familiar with YouTube,
they could have a positive influence on their motivation. Then, Based on every idea
above, the writer wants to give proof that YouTube doesn't only hurt young learners. It
can be great media while teaching, such as giving them motivation, reference to learning
something and many more.
