Resumen
The following study aimed to analyse the perception of Chilean EFL teachers from
private and public schools towards the use of YouTube as a pedagogical tool and analyse their
opinions about the effectiveness of using this platform in developing the listening skill in the
Chilean context. Moreover, the study proposed three areas of focus, establishing one as the
preeminent pillar of interest alongside two branching aspects which are vital for the
understanding of the objective. The leading area focused on analysing teachers’ perceptions
regarding the use of YouTube as a pedagogical tool for promoting and enhancing the listening
skill of learners. The second and third areas of focus had, on the one hand, sought to identify and
examine possible challenges presented to Chilean EFL teachers by the use of YouTube as a tool
for developing the listening skill of the learners, on the other hand, to identify and examine its
possible benefits and contributions to enhancing the listening skill. This study was carried out
through a mixed methods approach, in which 48 participants filled out a Likert scale, and from
those, 10 participants were selected for a semi-structured interview. In addition, the sample of
participants was taken from public and private schools in Santiago, Chile. After analysis, this
piece of research has found that Chilean EFL teachers’ perceptions lean towards a positive image
of YouTube as a platform when used to develop the listening skill in the classroom. Although
YouTube is not considered a pedagogical tool by previous research on the topic, it has been noted
that there is a potential for it to become one based on the participants' perceptions.
