| Description | In this chapter, we present the results of a didactic experiment we conducted in 2021/2022 with 63 students ofSpanish, French, and Russian in foreign language courses at the B1+/B2 level at the Faculty of Economics andAdministration of Masaryk University, Czech Republic. We asked ourselves whether, how and for what purposesstudentsfollowYouTuberschannels,andhowwe(andourstudents)mightfurtherintegratetheuseofthesevideoperformances into language learning. We assumed that students watch mainly English-language videos, and themaingoaloftheprojectwas,ontheonehand,tohighlighttheroleofYouTubeasausefultoolforlearningaforeignlanguage, and on the other hand, to allow students to practice their plurilingual competence, as well as collabora-tive and interactive learning, through making videos and subtitles. |
