Abstract

The paper gives a brief overview of the role of the internet for qualifying authentic writing and defines the meaning of YouTube as well as explains how this tool can be used. This is followed by a discussion of the benefits and limitations of using this tool in a classroom and the theoretical framework of using YouTube in an ESL classroom. Later, it proceeds to discuss how YouTube can help promote writing skills in an ESL classroom. The next section of the paper deals with the importance of some pedagogical procedures of video comment tasks for contexts with access to the internet, and provides my own practice of YouTube videos in an ESL classroom. The paper ends with recommendations and a conclusion derived from the findings of the paper. Overall, the paper advocates YouTube as a technology-mediated learning tool to promote authentic writing for ESL/EFL learners.
