This research paper explores the use of short videos in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, examining both the benefits and the challenges that educators and learners face when integrating video content into language instruction. The study focuses on how short videos can enhance language acquisition by providing authentic listening material, increasing engagement, and catering to different learning styles. It also addresses potential obstacles such as technological limitations, the selection of appropriate video content, and the risk of passive learning. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this research seeks to offer insights into the practical applications of video-based learning and inform best practices for teachers in the EFL context.
