Abstract

The use of YouTube channels as a learning medium really helps teachers in developing students' speaking skills. This research aims to explore EFL teachers' experiences in developing speaking skills using YouTube channels in junior high school students. The research design in this study used narrative inquiry. Two teachers were selected as research partisipants. Semi-structured interviews were done to collect data. The data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis. The findings show that there are differences in teachers' experiences in using YouTube with the BBC Learning English and Aarons' English channels in teaching speaking in English classes. The two channels were selected because the videos are appropriate to the material and learning objectives, and the language is easy for young learners to understand with attractive illustrations. This makes it easier to develop vocabulary, pronunciation, train students' speaking fluency, and increase students' learning motivation. Apart from that, teachers also encounter challenges such as fluctuating student motivation and students' lack of confidence in speaking.
