Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical potential of authentic video materials in enhancing oral communication skills among EFL learners in higher education. While traditional textbooks often provide scripted and simplified input, authentic videos expose learners to real-life language use, enabling them to develop pragmatic awareness, fluency, and confidence in speaking. A quasi-experimental design was conducted with two groups of undergraduate students: one taught with authentic video materials and the other with pedagogical (textbook-based) content. Findings revealed that students exposed to authentic videos demonstrated greater improvement in oral proficiency, vocabulary use, and interactive competence. The study concludes that authentic videos are an effective tool for bridging the gap between receptive listening and productive speaking in EFL classrooms.
