This article explores the impact of short-form video platforms such as You Tube,
Tik Tok and Instagram Reels on the development of English Speaking skills among
EFL learners. A practical study was conducted with two B1 and three B2 level students.
The study emphasizes that both viewing and producing short videos have beneficial
effects on learners' pronunciation, vocabulary development, and fluency in speaking.
The results indicate that short-form videos can boost students' motivation, increase
their confidence in speaking, and provide exposure to authentic, contemporary English.
Suggestions are offered for language educators on how to effectively integrate these
platforms into their teaching strategies.
