Abstract
This article mainly investigated the perceptions of undergraduate students from the Department of Islamic Broadcasting Communication at State Islamic Institute of Kudus to the use of YouTube as project-based learning to foster speaking proficiency in broadcasting. The study was conducted as qualitative research and data were collected through the administration of a 15- item questionnaire to the students relating the perception of YouTube project in enhancing their speaking proficiency in broadcasting. The result revealed that majority of the students agreed that YouTube project can facilitate the use of English based on their positive attitudes towards its use and high percentages of the perceptions that it can foster speaking of the language. Furthermore, YouTube encourages them to be more confident when speaking English and also has the ability to support their appearance or performance when broadcasting. It is, therefore, important for lecturers to design English speaking skills integrated into course materials through the use of modern technology.
