Using YouTube songs to improve English communication skills in Peruvian university students

Abstract

The objective was to identify the existing influence between didactic experiences through YouTube songs and improvements in basic English language skills in university students, which revealed a positive mean correlation (rs=0.664) between didactic experiences using YouTube songs and the improvement of English skills. Some 60.4% of university students prefer to learn English face-to-face, while 47.3% benefit from ICT integration and encourage class participation. With a bilateral significance (P < 0.05), the importance of didactic planning (rs=0.498), decision making (rs=0.582) and innovation (rs=0.636) in the development of English communication skills is confirmed.
