Summary/Abstract: Nowadays many university students spend much of their time using various media, and learning a foreign language should reflect their reality, therefore, a modern classroom should be equipped to fit and accommodate their needs and teachers should be up to date with technology to be able to keep their students involved and interested in the course content. Using YouTube in the classroom is one of the simplest ways of facilitating these needs and as, e.g., teaching grammar may be challenging, incorporating tasks including interesting YouTube videos might make challenging aspects of grammar more palatable and easier to understand as well as to teach. This article presents a variety of engaging and ready-to-use grammar and vocabulary tasks, which can very easily be modified and adapted to the needs of different groups of students. To make lessons attractive and effective, teachers should build them around their students’ interests and using YouTube is the perfect way to achieve this.
