Abstract

Background. The modern education system is aimed at developing a personality capable of communicating in various forms. Foreign language classes are no exception. In Ukraine, however, there is still a lack of high school students' ability to engage in dialogue or discussion in English. Consequently, the methods and approaches of teaching English require revisiting in order to involve as large a student audience as possible in the productive teaching of oral communication. This can be achieved through the use of YouTube videos to optimize students' activities in the process of building the competence in spoken dialogue. Purpose. The article aims to give a theoretical review and develop the techniques to enhance the competence in English spoken dialogue through YouTube in grade 11 schoolers. Results and Discussion.

It presents the criteria for selecting YouTube videos and communicative situations, provides a list of possible topics and spheres of communication to teach oral dialogue, offers a number of YouTube channels and videos which can be used in the process of teaching. The communicative situations are offered within the three main spheres of communication: personal, public, and educational.
