Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of YouTube videos on developing the skills of EFL learners in Jordan. The data were collected through 352 valid surveys from five Jordanian schools by quantitative method, and analyzed using SEM. The findings are closely related to previous studies indicating that YouTube videos have a positive significant impact on EFL learners. Moreover, the results revealed that technological self-efficacy moderates the relationship between YouTube videos and interaction, YouTube videos and listening and speaking skills, and YouTube videos and acquiring vocabulary. The research contributed to the adoption of technology in Jordanian schools, such as YouTube videos. Furthermore, our research results suggest that technological self-efficacy reinforces EFL learners to use YouTube videos to improve their English language acquisition. Accordingly, the research recommends implementing modern teaching and learning tools like YouTube in Jordanian schools while focusing on technical skills for both learners and teachers to use such tools effectively.
