Abstract
Despite the prevalent use of YouTube in English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching and learning, its qualities as a resource for extensive listening (EL) practice have not been so well researched. While previous studies emphasize the convenience of YouTube, this study has its aim at exploring how YouTube is used as a platform for EL practice as well as how to compensate for the challenges. This descriptive case study involved 20 EFL teachers of an English course in Bandung, West Java. Data collected from questionnaire and interview showcased information on the benefits as well as the challenges faced when using the platform for EL. The teachers also managed to offer recommended activities which exploit the use of YouTube in EL practice.
