Independent learning has become a hot topic in education over the last few decades. Furthermore, in this digital era, technology is continually evolving. YouTube is one of the resources employed in the presence of technology in education. There are millions of video clips available, as well as educational videos that can help EFL students to gain their knowledge. This research introduces YouTube consumption on language learning, particularly English as a foreign language. Based on the findings of many research conducted in some regions of the world, the amount of time students spent on YouTube was related to their ability in skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Finally, the purpose of this study is to introduce YouTube as independent learning media to EFL students in order to help them overcome their difficulties in learning English.
