This article discusses the use of short-form video content in developing listening and speaking skills among EFL learners. In the digital age, students are regularly exposed to short videos on platforms such as YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and educational video applications. These videos are usually brief, visually engaging, and easy to access, which makes them suitable for language learning when used with clear pedagogical aims. The article explores how short-form videos can help learners improve listening comprehension, pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency, and confidence in speaking. It argues that short videos provide authentic language input and can motivate students to practise English through repetition, imitation, discussion, and creative response tasks. However, the article also emphasizes that teachers should select videos carefully and guide students with appropriate pre-viewing, while-viewing, and post-viewing activities. The article concludes that short-form video content can be an effective supplementary tool for developing communicative skills in EFL classrooms.
