The Effect of Using the Cooperative Approach and YouTube clips In Developing the Listening Skill of Libyan English Language Students

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of YouTube videos and a collaborative approach in enhancing the listening skills of Libyan EFL students. Ten students from a Libyan institution participated in the study, divided into a cooperative group and a control group. The cooperative group viewed video clips and participated in small group discussions, whereas the control group received conventional instruction, listened to audio recordings, and attempted to assimilate the content. In comparison to the control group, the collaborating group exhibited
 a significant rise in auditory comprehension scores and indicated greater motivation and engagement, according to the research. Conversely, the control group exhibited no notable increase in auditory comprehension scores. The findings indicate that a collaborative approach and YouTube videos may significantly improve the listening skills of Libyan EFL learners.
