Abstract
It is not easy to inspire and motivate the ESL students,
but selecting unique engaging materials based on real
language can facilitate this task to a great extent.
No doubt that modern teenagers cannot imagine
their life without the Internet, so teachers should use its
resources to develop students’
communicative competence. The effectiveness of
communication depends not only on grammar and
vocabulary but also on many other factors, such
as communication culture, etiquette, and non-verbal
forms of communication. Watching videos gives
learners the possibility of hearing the language as well as
seeing the speakers, perceiving the realities
of their life.
