As one of the global media sites that is a video sharing platform, YouTube’s role in the field of education also has an impact on the development of education in general. Thus, this study aims to identify the level of YouTube use and the level of motivation in learning Arabic listening skills using YouTube among secondary school students. The findings of this study indicate that YouTube is beneficial in motivating students to acquire Arabic listening skills. Using a descriptive quantitative research methodology, the study of 195 respondents of Form Four students in three SMKA schools in Selangor was conducted using a questionnaire distributed through Google Form and analysed using SPSS version 26. The study found that the level of YouTube use and the level of students’ motivation to learn Arabic listening skills using YouTube were high. Although the effectiveness of the use of YouTube in improving the Arabic listening skills of high school students has not yet been confirmed, these findings give the impression that it has the potential to improve their listening skills. However, the video content used as learning material must meet the objectives of the skills learned so that its use can provide optimal benefits to students.
