EFL classes. In this descriptive study, questionnaires were conducted for both EFL students

vocabulary performance when teachers used youtube as a tool in their lessons. As far as
teachers, a questionnaire was conducted to investigate their awareness when using such material
and to examine the extent of youtube clips usage among them. The results showed that this
study confirms the effectiveness of using youtube videos as a teaching tool. Students showed a
positive attitude towards the tool and recommended teachers to apply it more in their lesson
explanation. Teachers also supported the use of such material and advised learners to use it
outside the classrooms. Even though, they do not use it as regularly as needed.
