Using different technological aids in language teaching is a common idea but in literary course teaching the use of YouTube is a comparatively rarely explored area, particularly in the Saudi context. It offers the necessary competencies for an understanding and interpretation of language. Always students focus on their examinations and grades rather than understanding the subject content. Actually, the intention of teaching and learning at times is imbalanced, because of teaching methods and materials. Thus, the qualitative and quantitative analyseswere performed in the Department of Languages and Translation, College of Education and Arts, Northern Border University, Arar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to explore the use of YouTube as a tool to enhance the students’ motivation,literary and language skills.
