Abstract

The digital revolution has reshaped language education, introducing new modalities for teaching and learning. Among these, YouTube has emerged as a versatile platform for delivering accessible, flexible, and engaging resources. This paper mainly explores the effectiveness of e-Kalam: Arabic Made Easy, a YouTube-based learning kit designed to improve the listening and speaking skills of Arabic learners. A quantitative study involving 111 UiTM and UTeM learners was conducted using structured questionnaires to examine engagement, accessibility, content quality, and overall satisfaction. The findings reveal that learners reported high engagement with significant improvements in listening comprehension and enhanced speaking confidence levels. The accessibility and audio clarity were rated highly, and most learners expressed a willingness to continue using and recommending the platform. The study concludes that YouTube-based learning provides an effective medium for developing Arabic listening and speaking proficiency. However, opportunities for greater use of for language learning practice remain a key area for future enhancement.
